Sharecropping
i don't think it was practiced they may have planned it out though to help southerners make money and African Americans often went in debt
Sharecropping began at the end of the civil war. It was mostly the freed black slaves that were working as sharecroppers. Workers were provided with a landowner's tools and land and after a harvest season they would give the landowner a portion of the crops they had as a form of payment to the landowner. They kept the rest for themselves and that was their payment for working. Sharecropping was successful for the Blacks because they were finally working for something that was for themselves. Under slavery they didn't get anything they harvested. For merchants it was hard because little sales were made when people were just living off the land. African Americans were better off as slaves than as sharecroppers. First, the "plantation" owners were not as inclined to treat them as respectfully since they were no longer an investment that they can sell to make money. Furthermore, African Americans were forced under the crop linen system where they were constantly in debt because the credator provided the food ans shelter while the African Americans received little to no pay to pay off their debt. In addtion, the passage of the Flerfusonv ....something case ordered that separate but equal facilities for the blacks were legal. Overall, although African Americans got their freedom, they had it worst than before the Civil War.

Sharecropping benefited both the workers and the owners. Sharecropping involved tenants farming land that is owned by someone else in return for a share of the crops.
Southern laws that imposed restrictions on African Americans were called Jim Crow laws. The Jim Crow laws prevented southern African American from truly have equality with the white counterparts.

The Reconstruction Era occurs right after the Civil War, which along with freedom already provides changes to African Americans. Because of this, African Americans were no longer slaves and could perform in practices of business, such as sharecropping. Basically, it opened a range of new opportunities to African Americans.

Sharecropping was a form of agriculture in the South where landless farmers rented land and paid the landowner with a portion of the crops harvested. It often trapped farmers in cycles of debt and poverty due to exploitative agreements. Sharecropping played a significant role in perpetuating economic hardship for many African Americans after the Civil War.

Sharecropping created a cycle of poverty for African Americans in the South by trapping them in a system of debt and dependence. Sharecroppers would rent land from white landowners and pay with a portion of their crops, often leading to insufficient returns to cover their debts for tools, seeds, and living expenses. This meant they were perpetually in debt and unable to accumulate wealth or escape the system. As a result, many African American families remained economically marginalized and stuck in a cycle of poverty for generations.
