Answer 2

Sharecropping become a dominant form of agricultural production in the South that corresponds to the area C on the map.

Step-by-step explanation:

The abolition of slavery in 1865 signified a great economic upheaval in the South and the beginning of Reconstruction era (1863 – 1877).

In order to cope with a new economic order and have some means to provide for their families, former slaves and poor white farmers were making a living by farming on the land that belonged to the landowners.

In this form of agriculture, landowner provided tools for farming, while sharecroppers had to give a share of their crops to the landowner. Landowners also often forced sharecroppers into agreements of selling other parts of their crops to them under manipulated prices, and in general possessed vast control over sharecroppers.
