Answer 1

Answer 2

Henry Grady, the principal advocate of the New South sought the creation of a diversified economy, much like that of the North. Although the South did make industrial progress during the Gilded Age, the agricultural sector of the economy reigned supreme. Good students will point out that textile and cigarette factories did little to transform the regional economy. Companies paid low wages, and this resulted in the lack of an internal market. Southern agriculture changed little, and most southerners still either rented land or worked as sharecroppers. New South proponents had hoped for agricultural diversification. All of these factors combined to produce a society that was still falling behind in terms of the economic and social development occurring in the North.
