B. continued to suffer

Explanation:

During Reconstruction, the Southern economy struggled to get back on its feet. The farmlands which were the major source of living for the former African American slaves had just been destroyed, and in some cases completely burned down to the roots. The former slaves hoped to be given some of the lands where they worked without pay, but instead of that, their white masters sought for ways to still make them work for little pay and restrict their freedom.

The lands were not redistributed. So, this situation made the African Americans in the south struggle in order to rebuild their economy. Sharecropping and Tenant farming evolved during Reconstruction, and Textile mills became dominant in the region.
