Sharecropping began in the US Southern States after the plantation system was destroyed by the civil war. The white southern land owners hired the newly emancipated slaves to cultivate the land and grow crops in return for a place to live, usually a dilapidated shack and half of the the crop's earnings. Of course, it never worked out this way. Sharecropping was simply a quasar form of slavery.
