The loss of farms would make it especially difficult for the Southern economy to recover because the Southern economy was largely based on agriculture. Without farms producing crops for sale, many industries in the South would fail, as well as the ability to grow surplus crops for additional income. Additionally, most Southerners would not be able to afford to rebuild their farms, further inhibiting economic recovery.
