Why was it difficult for sharecroppers to get ahead?

Answer 1

It was difficult for sharecroppers to get ahead because when crops failed, both landowners and workers suffered. Even in good times, most workers' shares were very little, if anything at all. Therefore, yet only few people got ahead through sharecropping.

Answer 2

The sharecropping system was so hard to overcome in the South after the Civil War because many land owners kept the freed slave still indentured by charging outrageous fees for the land that were hard to pay. It was a vicious cycle of lending money to plant and then not paying what the crops were worth to get debt paid off.

Answer 3

The sharecroppers were paid very little, but still had to pay rent and buy food. This meant a constant battle to make enough money to pay for everything they needed.
