Why did many African Americans prefer to be sharecroppers rather than work for a wage?

It wasn't that they preferred to sharecrop as opposed to a wage, but there were no wages where they were. My great grandparents were sharecroppers because there were no wages where they were. They worked the land for a percentage of the crop. Some were able to work a deal that enabled them to later own the land they worked. This is what my great grandparents did. To earn a wage they would have had to leave where they grew up and my family did not until later generations. They did what they knew how to do, grow crops. That was why they sharecropped. My great grandparents were not African American, but Irish and Native American though. Good luck hearing from others on the subject.
Knowledge gained through talking to family about those times.
