How did the civil war affect planter families? a. they lost their slaves but were otherwise unaffected. b. for the first time, some of them had to do physical labor. c. they endured immediate problems, but their economic revival was quick. d. since they defined freedom broadly, they got along well with their ex-slaves. e. few lost loved ones because they were able to avoid military service?

The answer is B. For the first time, some of them had to do physical labor.
The planter families refers to the family that owned several slaves in order to take care of hard labor in their plantations.
Because of the civil war, a lot of them are required to take up weapons and fight for the first time in their life.

In this scenario, the most correct answer would be answer B, for the first time, some of them had to do physical labor. The other answers are incredibly incorrect. The civil war affected plantation owners in the southern states the hardest. The war affected their labor force and forced them to pay or work with people they had formerly owned and considered property, not humans. This was a difficult time for plantation owners in the south.
