As time evolved, Africans deterred from owning farms by the whites, and this made them turn to sharecropping, which frequently led to a series of debt and retained families compelled to their terrestrial. Conquest did not render a fast economic development for the United States. The total significant transformation for the north was the increased existence of the centralized rule in the economy. New tariff laws protected northern trade from rivalry. With the establishment of the national banking system and greenbacks, the legislative body swapped hundreds of national banknotes with a scheme of federal money that augmented trade and exchange between territories of the state (ER N.d).
