Explanation:

The most difficult and important task for the southerners after the reconstruction was to devise a new system of labor for replacing the slaves. Prior to civil war the southern economy was dependent on the slavery, hence after its abolition it was not easy for the planters to  adjust. During reconstruction whiter farmers were thrown into poverty and started producing cotton which was a major change from the prewar days.
