Why was sharecropping called a new form of slavery?
Sharecropping was often referred to as a new form of slavery because tenants were bound to their landowners economically, much like slaves were tied to their owners. Sharecroppers rarely had autonomy or control over their own lives and were often kept in cycles of debt and poverty, similar to the conditions faced by slaves. Additionally, sharecroppers were often subject to exploitative contracts and harsh treatment by landowners.

If slavery is illegal how can sharecropping be legal?
Slavery is illegal in the terms it was used in the 1800's in the United States. Slavery is still alive in some African countries as well as parts of Asia. The people who are engaged in sharecropping always have the choice to leave the farm and go somewhere else. Slaves don't. Modern sharecropping is also under the control of a mutually-agreed-upon contract which spells out the responsibilities and benefits to both parties which can be enforced by a court of law. Sharecropping you are not forced to live at the place you are. Slavery you are forced by your will to work. Sharecropping you have to pick stuff from other peoples land in which you are living on. You give the landowners how ever much they want. In slavery you are not allowed to keep anything.
