The only people involved in sharecropping were former slaves.
Many were designed to keep the former slaves poor
Sharecropping was unfair to former slaves because it often trapped them in a cycle of debt and poverty. They were typically given small plots of land to farm in exchange for a large portion of their harvest, but were required to purchase supplies on credit from the landowner, leading to a constant state of debt. This system also restricted their mobility and economic advancement, perpetuating the conditions of oppression and exploitation that many had sought to escape after emancipation.

Sharecropping
After the Civil War, former slaves sought jobs, and planters sought laborers. The absence of cash or an independent credit system led to the creation of sharecropping. Sharecropping is a system where the landlord/planter allows a tenant to use the land in exchange for a share of the crop.
Lincoln established the Freedmens Bureau for this exact purpose. It provided former slaves with education and information. Sadly most of them didnt know about this and fell into sharecropping
