Presentation Transcript

  1. 8-5.2 Describe the economic impact of Reconstruction on South Carolinians in each of the various social classes. Reconstruction

  2. Key Vocabulary • Scalawags • Carpetbagger • entrepreneur • Freedmen

  3. Key Concepts • The planter elite lost their labor force and the freedmen lost their jobs, so share cropping developed. • Small farmers who had not owned slaves now had to compete with the African American sharecroppers at market.

  4. The impact upon women depended upon their social class. Women of all classes took on non-traditional roles. The Constitution of 1868 provided limited rights for women.

  5. Northern immigrants came to the south as teachers, missionaries or entrepreneurs. Southerners reviled them as “carpetbaggers” and they were not accepted by white society.
