The correct answer is:
a. Farms and factories had been destroyed by the war so Georgia was suffering economically.
After the Civil War, Georgia faced significant economic challenges due to the destruction caused by the war, which affected agricultural production and industrial capacity. Many farms were left in disarray, and the overall economy struggled to recover in the immediate post-war years. Sharecropping and tenant farming became common as a means for landless farmers, often freedmen, to work the land and survive economically, but these systems often perpetuated cycle of poverty and debt.
