Sharecroppers
Sharecroppers were forced to buy tools and seed from their landowners for exorbitant prices. When the harvest came in, the crops were sold for barely enough to pay off the loans the sharecroppers took out to eat and survive. This left little to pay off the debt that they owed.
The wealthy landowners spread out with the expansion of Roman territories. Expansion offered new lands to be cultivated and the wealthy landowners took up their opportunities.

well, it was unfair for them because at this time, most sharecroppers were former slaves that did not want to, or could not, go north or anywhere outside of the south, and as they needed jobs, they went back to the plantations, but got paid instead of working for free. however, the landowners many times took advantage of the still racially discriminatory laws of the southern states (as states right were still the supreme authority in states; the feds couldn't intervene) and charged them incredibly high rents and such and didn't pay them enough for the crops that they grew on the land that they had rented and the sharecroppers plummeted further and further into debt and couldn't get out of it or leave their land without paying their dues, lest they be jailed and probably hung or lynched. as the debt accumulated, the sharecroppers were forced to work more and more and essentially, it became slavery once again under another
