Sharecroppers
A sharecropper in the South typically worked on land owned by someone else, providing labor in exchange for a share of the crop produced. They often had to purchase supplies and equipment on credit, which meant they were frequently in debt to landowners or local merchants. This system entrenched economic dependency and limited the sharecropper's ability to achieve financial independence. Sharecroppers were predominantly African American, especially in the post-Civil War era, and faced significant social and economic challenges.

A sharecropper in the South typically needed land, seeds, tools, and access to credit to cultivate crops, as they did not own the land they worked on. They would often enter into agreements with landowners, providing labor in exchange for a portion of the crop yield. This system was prevalent post-Civil War, allowing individuals, often formerly enslaved people, to earn a living while remaining economically dependent on landowners. Sharecroppers also required access to markets to sell their produce and sustain their families.
