What was the result of the "new south" movement in the 1870s and 1880s.
Cotton ceased to be the chief crop of Georgia
The number of small farms and independent farms increased
Taxes, war debuts, and reliance on cheap labor increased
There was a trend toward industrialization and diversification of agriculture
The result of the "New South" movement in the 1870s and 1880s was a trend toward industrialization and diversification of agriculture. During this time, Southern states, including Georgia, actively sought to move away from an economy based solely on agriculture, particularly the production of cotton. They aimed to attract Northern investment, promote industrial growth, and diversify their agricultural products. The focus shifted toward developing industries such as textiles, iron, and railroads, as well as experimenting with new cash crops like tobacco and peaches. This shift was a response to the economic challenges faced by the South after the Civil War and a drive to modernize the region's economy.
