Why did the south not have as much industrialization as the north?
The southern economy was based on agriculture and the plantation system. The north was forced to go to industry because they didn't have the fertile flat land to grow vast acres of crops. The southern states also had crops that they could grow easily and sell to Europe. Cotton, tobacco,rice, indigo all require hot weather that is found in the south.
What provision did the act regarding Freedmen's Bureau make regarding land?
The freed slaves almost always lacked the money to purchase the land in order to start an economic activity on their own. So , the Freedmen Bureau was active in encouraging the former plantation owners, who needed the labour of the former slaves, to hire them as employees and have their plantations rebuilt. Since the owners had not enough money for the purpose, it was found the solution of the sharecropping system, by which they leased land in exchange of a portion of the crop.

What did the word delete mean 50 years ago?
The word "delete" has been around in similar form since its Latin origin which meant to wipe out or destroy entirely. Early books and written history, as that's all there was in the long long ago, used its more modern definition. As per Webster, to blot or cut out, would have arrived at this point as proper usage. And while this wasn't part of my research into this, I'd lay odds when the printing press was invented, it became more a common term to be used. Part of this answer is found in researching the word "typo" and "@" to their origins. "@" is actually a surprisingly ancient... Anyway, I'm sure this isn't entirely accurate, but I'm no scholar... Just a Google exploitation extraordinaire.
