Sharecropping developed after the slavery system had been abolished. In exchange for labor, the worker received a portion of the crop to sell and use as he wished. In reality, it was another form of slavery. The landlord deducted the rent from the portion of the crop due to the laborer, which very often left the worker with a bare subsistence living.
