The correct answer is: **There was a decrease in federal political control over the region.**
This decrease allowed Southern states to implement laws and policies that benefited their economies, such as establishing systems that supported sharecropping and Jim Crow laws, ultimately leading to the growth of a more localized economy aligned with Southern interests.
