In the post-Civil War South, sharecroppers who could not pay their debts to landowners often faced severe consequences. They could be subjected to eviction from the land they worked, and their inability to settle debts could lead to a cycle of debt peonage, where they remained bound to the land under oppressive terms. Additionally, they might face legal action, which could result in imprisonment or forced labor to repay their obligations. This perpetuated a cycle of poverty and dependence, making it difficult for sharecroppers to achieve economic independence.
