During Reconstruction, which replaced the plantation system in Georgia?

Answer
A
small farms worked by landowners
B
sharecropping
C
tenant farming
D
large farms worked by hired help

Explanation

After the Civil War, the plantation system largely gave way to sharecropping in Georgia. Landowners divided land into plots that formerly enslaved people and poor farmers worked in exchange for a share of the crop, often while remaining in debt. Tenant farming also existed, but sharecropping was the main system that replaced plantation agriculture.
