After the Civil War, the South had to rebuild cities destroyed by the total war strategy. This period, often referred to as Reconstruction, involved significant efforts to restore infrastructure, address the needs of a devastated economy, and navigate the complex social changes resulting from the abolition of slavery. The South's economy transitioned during this time, but it remained predominantly agricultural, emphasizing cotton and other crops rather than a shift to industrialization. Thus, the main focus was on rebuilding and recovering from the war's destruction.
