tenant farming
Both tenant farming and sharecropping were agricultural systems prevalent in the southern United States after the Civil War. Both involved renting land to work and paying a portion of the harvest as a form of payment to the landowner. However, in sharecropping, the tenant typically received a share of the harvest, while in tenant farming, the tenant paid rent in cash or crops.
British law discouraged tenant farming
Sharecropping is a system of agriculture or agricultural production in which a landowner allows a tenant to use the land in return for a share of the crop produced on the land. A tenant farmer is one who resides on and farms land owned by a landlord.
