Question

After the Civil War, which development limited

economic opportunities for African Americans in
the South?
(1) creation of military districts
(2) establishment of the Freedmen’s Bureau
(3) use of the sharecropping system
(4) ratification of the 14th amendment

Answer 1

"(3) use of the sharecropping system" would be the best option, since this system meant that the newly freed African Americans were tied to the land of whites, much like they had been before their freedom.
