Tenant and Sharecropping
Tenant farming created a new class of wealthy southerners called merchants. Tenant farmers paid a landowner rent for farmland and a house, The tenant farmer owned the crops, and at harvest time would sell the crops for income to pay rent. However, due to poor crops and various other issues, tenant farmers often borrowed on credit to make the rent. It became a vicious cycle for the tenant farmer, but advantageous for the merchants.
Tenant Farming also called Sharecropping came about in 1865 in the United States.

Many small-scale farmers, especially in rural areas of the southern United States, practiced subsistence farming, which involves growing crops and raising animals for personal consumption rather than for commercial purposes. These farmers typically grew a variety of crops, such as corn, beans, and vegetables, and raised livestock like chickens and pigs to feed their families. Subsistence farming was common among lower-income families or those living in isolated areas without access to markets or resources for large-scale commercial agriculture.
