What else can I help you with?
How did the sharecropping system operate?
It meant that laborers (often former slaves) with no land of their own worked on farm plots owned by others, and at the end of the season landowners paid workers a share of the crop. This meant that these laborers did not get a salary for their work and might hardly get paid at all in the end if the crops failed. Even with good crops, their share payment was deducted with cost of housing and food. In this system, the former slaves could be worse off than when they were still slaves when they could at least be sure of being housed and fed.

What did Roman slaves have?
Roman slaves always had the reality of future freedom. I am not speaking of the incorrigible ones or the criminal slaves who were most often sent to the mines where life was short and hard. The ordinary domestic slave had his/her food, clothing and shelter and his medical needs, if any, taken care of. He also had his "peculium" which was his savings. With this he could buy his freedom. However quite often masters or mistresses would free slaves voluntarily. If this happened, the slave still owed service to his former master a few days a week, and he would become his master's client. He would be doing service, if needed, for his former master, while still enjoying the former master's protection and his own freedom. Even the public slaves who worked on the building projects and renovations had these benefits although their chances of making "side money" were less than a domestic's. Most masters freed a certain number of slaves in their wills.
How did southern slave owners control their slaves in the US?
Slaves owners could use brutal force by beating their slaves into submission or they would simply be kind to their slaves while still enforcing a good work ethic.
How was slavery stopped in the 1700's and the 1800's?

Why did white people joined KKK?
At the end of the civil war former slaves were given citizenship, voting rights, and protection under the laws. Many southern whites didn't like the emancipation of slaves and to scare them the KKK began as "night riders" in sheets so they could look like ghosts of confederate dead. Imagine that you are sleep in the middle of the night and men ride up in sheets with torches and call you out of your house. They wanted to make sure that the former slaves knew that they were still less than the white man and to keep them from voting, attending schools, and owning land. The people who join the KKK ( it still is around) are bigots and bullies.
How did the Civil War abolished slavery?
Slavery was abolished by means of a constitutional amendment, immediately following the civil war. Since most of the former slaves had by that point escaped from their former owners and joined forces with the north, it was clear that slavery was no longer a viable option. You could not practically re-enslave someone who was a Civil War veteran and still had his gun.
