Why was there sharecropping?
Sharecropping, or share-cropping sounds harmless and benign. In theory tenant ( non-owner) farmers resided and worked on farms and were resposnible for a share of the output= or crop. It sounds benign, like rentals in apartment houses, but in reality was not so even-handed. In effect share-croppers were bound to the land, not by chains or leg-irons ( as in slavery days) but by oppressive contract arrangements- not to different from that of medieval serfs. There were both Black and White share croppers. In theory it sounded benign, in practice it was abusive. There were laws or equivalents of laws in some states that effectively prevented farmers ( both owners and share-croppers, effectively, from changing jobs- with the possible exveption of going into the Armed Forces! ( out of the Frying pan and into the blast Furnace of modern war!) On the other hand the Feds were known to have engaged in various propaganda and educational programs angled at agrarians ( one survival is the the Four-J clubs)- and at times paid farmers NOT to grow crops (in this most labor-intensive job)_ but thiw was done for crop rotation of ( Fallowing) and in more recent times, decontamination of harmful pest control products. so it goes.
