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.

Sharecropping and tenant farming both emerged as labor systems in the South after the Civil War and Reconstruction. Both systems involved individuals working on land owned by others in exchange for a share of the crops produced. The laborers in these systems typically faced economic struggles and limited autonomy.
Landownership would be an antonym for sharecropping, as it refers to owning land outright as opposed to a tenant farming arrangement.
Tenant Farming also called Sharecropping came about in 1865 in the United States.
