Reconstruction in Georgia

Question 2 • CCPS Georgia Studies 8 (45.00900) YL IC

Which sentence best describes the system of tenant farming in Georgia?

Answer
A
It created a cycle of debt for tenant farmers that was difficult to break.
B
It resulted in huge profits for tenant farmers, but very little for landowners.
C
It did not allow tenant farmers to use credit to get the supplies they needed.
D
It provided protection for tenant farmers if the weather failed to cooperate.

Explanation

Tenant farmers rented land and often borrowed money or supplies from landowners and merchants until harvest. When crops earned too little to cover rent and debts, farmers had to borrow again the next year, creating a cycle that was difficult to escape. The system generally did not guarantee protection against bad weather or produce huge profits for tenants.
