Why did the system of sharecropping make it difficult for freedmen to become economically independent?

Sharecropping made it difficult for freedmen to achieve economic independence because it often trapped them in a cycle of debt and dependency. Landowners would provide land, seeds, and tools in exchange for a share of the crop, but high rents and unfair pricing for supplies meant that many sharecroppers were unable to earn enough to pay off their debts. This system effectively tied freedmen to the land and their employers, limiting their ability to save money or invest in their own enterprises. As a result, sharecropping perpetuated poverty and restricted economic mobility for many African Americans in the post-Civil War South.

How did the US government helped the freed slaves after the Civil war?

The Freedmen's Bureau, more formally known as the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned lands, was given the responsibility by the federal government of helping former slaves adjust to their new status as "freedmen" after the Civil War. The idea was initiated by President Lincoln in 1865 before his death and passed by Congress. The Freedmen's Bureau provided emergency food, housing and medical aid to the recently freed slaves and, for the longer term, prepared them for self-sufficiency through education, instruction in their new rights including voting, and arranging for jobs, often with previous slave owners, negotiating the employment contracts on behalf of the freedmen, and then keeping an eye on the situation to make sure that the terms of the contract were complied with. In 1871, the Freedmen's Bureau was disbanded, long before its efforts could become fully effective. In response, resentful ex-Confederates rolled back the gains made in politics and education by the freedmen and instituted a series of laws that kept the ex-slaves and their children technically free but relegated many of them to political and economic serfdom.

How many cattle are on a ranch?

There is no defined number and a ranch also lacks defenition. It you call it a ranch, the neighbors may be laughing but it is your ranch. (If you measure it in acres, then it probably isn't a ranch. When you measure it in sections then it is the real thing.)
