Sharecroppers were farmers who worked land owned by someone else. They usually did not have seeds or tools to work the land or the money to buy them, so they "bought" them from the landowner. When the crop was harvested, the owner first deducted the cost of seeds, tools, and other items bought by the sharecropped, then took a share of the crop as rent for the land.
In a good year, the sharecropper might come out ahead and be able to buy seed for the next year and have some cash left over. In a bad year, the sharecropper ended up still in debt to the landowner.
