Sharecropping

Explanation:

Sharecropping was a form of agriculture that was used in the South after the Civil War. This method of farming became very common as a consequence of the end of slavery. In this system, the landowner provided land, tools and seeds, while a local merchant provided supplies on credit. After harvest, part of the harvest went to the landowner, and part to the farmer. The farmer then used this part to pay the merchant. This was a precarious situation to be in for the farmer, as profits were irregular and often insufficient. It also placed Black farmers in a subordinate situation that prevented equality.
