The South's economic and social problems after the war, including widespread poverty, destruction of infrastructure, and lack of resources, contributed to political problems as it struggled to recover and rebuild. The economic hardship led to political instability and division, as different groups and factions vied for power and resources in the post-war era. This created a lack of cohesion and unity within the Southern states, making it difficult for them to effectively address their political challenges and rebuild their society.
