How did farming continue to be profitable for landowners even after the end of slavery?

After the end of slavery, many landowners maintained profitability through sharecropping and tenant farming systems, which allowed them to retain control over land and labor without directly employing enslaved workers. By offering land to former enslaved people in exchange for a share of the crops, landowners could continue to exploit cheap labor while shifting the financial risks of farming onto the tenants. Additionally, the implementation of laws and practices, such as black codes, often restricted the economic mobility of African Americans, ensuring a labor force that remained dependent on landowners. Ultimately, these systems perpetuated a cycle of poverty and debt that benefited landowners economically.

What caused an increasing difference between wealthy landowners and workker in Jamestown?

The increasing difference between wealthy landowners and workers in Jamestown was primarily driven by the system of indentured servitude and the establishment of tobacco as a cash crop. Wealthy landowners accumulated vast tracts of land and profited from tobacco cultivation, while workers, many of whom were indentured servants, faced harsh labor conditions and minimal economic mobility. As landowners became more prosperous, the disparity grew, leading to social tensions and economic inequality within the colony. Additionally, the transition from indentured servitude to African slavery further entrenched this divide, as landowners sought to secure a more permanent, controllable labor force.
