Explanation:

Sharecropping is a labor system in which a person agrees to work on a plantation owners land. In return, the person renting the land agrees that they will give a share of their crops to the land owner.

This system became prevelant in the US after the end of the Civil War. Thanks to the outlawing of slavery, thousands of farm owners now needed to find a labor system that would ensure their continued economic success.

The sharecropping system in the South would take the place of slavery. It would be abused by plantation and farm owners, as they constantly changed the terms of agreement with their tenants (of black citizens), resulting in a consistent cycle of poverty for the person renting the land.
