When the Civil War ended, the Union was restored and slavery came to end.  It also put an end to the plantation class who ruled Southern society.  Many farms and building were destroyed when the North invaded the South. Without their slaves, no one was there to work their fields or take of their homes. Many were now left poverty and would take time for them to recover what was lost in the war.
Without slaves, their economy was in tatters. Life as the southern people knew it was gone. Many families had lost everything. Homes were destroyed by northern soldiers personal property had been taken and food supplies were used to feed the invading army. When most of the southern soldiers returned home they found homes gone, fields destroyed, families starving. and their way of life gone.
