Question

how did georgias economy change after the civil war?

a. the economy became more diversified and industrial.

b. georgian farmers began growing cotton in record amounts.

c. many people moved out of the cities in search of farming jobs.

d. trade became less important as georgians became more self sufficient.

Explanation:

After the Civil War, Georgia's economy shifted from a primarily agrarian (cotton - based) economy. Option B is incorrect because the post - Civil War South, including Georgia, faced challenges in cotton production due to factors like the end of slavery and damaged infrastructure, so farmers didn't grow cotton in record amounts. Option C is incorrect as industrialization and other economic changes led to urbanization, not people moving out of cities for farming jobs. Option D is incorrect because Georgia, like other Southern states, became more connected to national and international trade as it industrialized and diversified. Option A is correct as Georgia's economy became more diversified, with growth in industries like textiles and other manufacturing, moving towards industrialization.

Answer:

A. The economy became more diversified and industrial.
