Answer 1

Growers in the South attempted to rebuild their cotton market primarily by producing more cotton. After the Civil War and into the late 19th century, the demand for cotton remained high, and many planters sought to increase their output to capitalize on this demand and restore their economic stability. This production strategy often involved intensifying agricultural practices and sometimes leveraging sharecropping systems that emerged during this period.
