Answer 1

9. After the Civil War, Georgia was in a highly devastated state both economically and physically. The infrastructure was destroyed, the economy was in ruins, and there was a severe shortage of labor due to the emancipation of slaves.

10. During the Reconstruction Era, the goods and services produced in Georgia varied. Agriculture was still a major industry, with cotton, tobacco, and rice being the main crops. Other industries such as lumber, mining, and manufacturing also played a role in the state's economy. Additionally, services such as transportation, trade, and banking were essential in facilitating economic activity. However, the overall economy struggled due to the aftereffects of the war and the challenges of transitioning from a slave-based to a free labor system.
