share croppers
Sharecroppers were farmers, often African Americans in the Southern United States after the Civil War, who worked on land owned by others in exchange for a share of the crops they produced. They were often in a cycle of poverty and debt due to unfair contracts and exploitative practices by landowners.
They could not afford to buy land, but all they knew was farming. A large number of freed slaves in the South became share croppers, as they could not find other work.
Landowners typically held more power in the contract negotiations, resulting in terms that were more favorable to them. Sharecroppers often faced unfair treatment, volatile economic conditions, and limited mobility due to debt obligations. Landowners' control over resources and land often kept sharecroppers in a cycle of poverty and dependency.
African Americans share croppers
Slavery involved ownership of individuals as property, with no control over their own labor and no compensation. Sharecropping, on the other hand, involved individuals working land owned by others in exchange for a share of the crops produced, allowing some degree of autonomy but often leading to debt and dependency. Sharecroppers were considered free individuals, unlike slaves.
Space Croppers was created on 1980-04-27.
Most remained in debt to the land owners and were unable to move away.
After slaves were freed, they did not have money to buy land or animals to work the land. Many became share croppers and it was much like still being a slave.
