share croppers
A sharecropper is a farmer who works on land owned by someone else, typically a landlord, in exchange for a share of the crops produced. This system often left sharecroppers in debt and disadvantaged, leading to cycles of poverty. Sharecropping was common in the southern United States after the Civil War.
