It felt just like slavery to most of them. They didn't own the land they worked and they were paid a small amount to harvest the crops on someone else's land. This was barely enough to keep them eating and give them shelter. When they were slaves they did the same thing, but didn't get paid. Instead they got their food and shelter provided. The big difference was that slaves were tied to the master's property. Sharecroppers could leave it they could find something better elsewhere.

Sharecropping trapped many former slaves in a cycle of debt and poverty because they were often unable to earn enough from their crops to pay their landowner. This system limited their economic independence and perpetuated a dependent relationship with the dominant land-owning class. Additionally, sharecropping often exposed former slaves to continued exploitation and harsh working conditions.
