One of the goals of the New South prophets was a diversified agriculture. What factors stood in the way of this goal?

- tendency rates tripled , 1880-1890

- cotton was deflated , market was flooded

- whole time they planted they put the prices down

- Union blockaded the South so they couldn't get cotton

- England found a new place to get cotton for cheaper ( India ,Egypt and Brazil)

- the US had too much cotton it began to build up

hope it helps :)
