Answer 1

The most accurate response regarding the impact of the Civil War on farmers in South Carolina is: Farmers turned over all land to tenant farmers who could work.

After the Civil War, many landowners, devastated by the conflict and the abolition of slavery, shifted to a system of sharecropping and tenant farming, which allowed them to maintain their land while relying on laborers to work it in exchange for a share of the crops produced. This shift was significant in the agricultural economy of the South, including South Carolina.
