Brief Explanations
By spring 1865, the Civil War had devastated the South's economy, infrastructure, and agricultural systems. Slavery was abolished (eliminating option A), the region was economically ruined rather than prosperous (eliminating option B), and sharecropping/tenant farming emerged later as a post-war labor system (eliminating option C). The South was left as the poorest region of the U.S. at this time.
