Answer 1

The correct statement about agriculture in Georgia after the Civil War is: Plantation owners had land but little money to pay people to work it.

After the Civil War, many plantation owners faced significant economic challenges, including a lack of funds to pay workers, as the economy was severely disrupted. Many freed slaves sought agricultural work, but the system of sharecropping and tenant farming emerged due to the financial constraints of both the plantation owners and the workers.
