I apologize for the confusion. Upon further research, the correct answer is actually C. Taxes, war debts, and reliance on cheap labor increased. The "New South" movement sought to modernize the South and make it less reliant on an agrarian economy, but the changes were often accompanied by increased economic challenges and reliance on cheap labor.
