What happened to a lot of land that owners could not afford to keep after the civil war?

Some, unable to pay their mortgages, lost their plantations when

the banks foreclosed. Some sold out to Northern carpetbaggers.

Those who were able to keep their land realized that they could not

sustain cotton production on an industrial scale without the slave

labor force, because they could not afford to pay living wages.

They developed a system called sharecropping by which the field hands would receive a portion of the crop in exchange for their

labor. The sharecroppers lived on the plantation in their own

shacks. In practice, the system was little better than slavery. the sharecropper had to pay their rent out of their share of the crop,

with very littl left over for anything beyond subsistence.

background

early european explorers to the americas likely experienced emotions including awe at the vast "new" environment, amazement at meeting "others," the thrill of the unknown, concern for personal safety, desire for personal reward, and longing for their homeland and those left behind. written and pictorial records attributed to europeans provide the bulk of the records of these early travels. impressions of natives as well as native impressions of europeans are frequently framed in the narratives of the explorers. examination of these records indicates the cautious and curious nature of first encounters.

significance

centuries of ignorance, prejudice, and opinions lacking evidence or scholarly research have tainted traditional views of the earliest meetings between native americans (first nations in canada) and europeans. students may come to recognize how the later period of continued exploration, settlement, and interaction was influenced by these early encounters from the st. lawrence river to georgia.
