The sharecropping system practiced after the Civil War?

Answer 1

Sharecropping in the South during Reconstruction

Sharecropping involved renting land and sometimes implements from a landowner, so that a farmer could raise crops. This was not as efficient a system as large slave plantations, but was preferred by many blacks over a return to hired servitude. Unemployed whites also participated in the system.

Sharecroppers were charged high interest rates and had to give a portion of their crops to the landowners. This meant that most sharecroppers lived in poverty with little chance to own land or homes of their own.
