The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

After the Civil War in 1865, North Carolina endured considerable changes in the aftermath of the Civil War and during the Reconstruction period. These changes were economic, social, and political.

Historians say that approximately 30,000 soldiers in Carolina died during the war. So the first thing was the people from the state lived much pain and suffering. There were thousands of wounded men and casualties. Life at home was difficult. Women had to take care of the farm activities while husbands were fighting in the war.

The economy suffered hard. Millions of dollars were lost in private property damage. The government of North Carolina had invested a lot of money in its soldiers and war supplies for the Confederation. Landlords lost money too when slaves were freed. There were no loans, no credit,s, and banks broke. Companies closed, and there was no creation of jobs. During Reconstruction, white people had to grant blacks some rights and they were upset.
