Many African American farmers were caught in a condition of debt peonage due to systemic racism and economic exploitation following the Civil War. Sharecropping systems often left them in a cycle of debt, as they borrowed money for supplies and were forced to give a significant portion of their crops to landowners, making it difficult to achieve financial independence. Additionally, discriminatory practices, such as inflated prices and unfair contracts, further entrenched their economic vulnerability. This cycle of debt perpetuated their reliance on white landowners and limited their opportunities for upward mobility.
There were several ways that African American farmers were caught in a condition of debt peonage during the Reconstruction period following the US Civil Was.African American farmers could not afford to buy land of their own, so they agreed to farm another's land in exchange for a share of the crops (sharecropping). However, many sharecroppers were forced to buy seeds, tools, and other supplies from the landowner's store. Sharecroppers were often illiterate and had to depend on the accounting of the landowner and his staff and were kept in debt. The landowners also miscalculated the value of the crop, thus making the sharecropper unable to pay their debts to the landowner, merchants, and compnay stores.Another way was to use the "Black Codes" and arrest any black man who was out of a job (or between jobs) or arrest them on trumped up charges. A white employer would then pay off their debts of the court costs and fines if the black man would agree to work for the employer to pay off the debt. Paperwork would be lost and they were trapped in debt peonage.

No. The condition smoking cannot be caught but they can be caught if they smoke in non-smoking places.
Many African American farmers became trapped in a cycle of debt peonage due to systemic racism, discriminatory lending practices, and a lack of access to resources. After the Civil War, they often had to rely on sharecropping or tenant farming, which tied them to landowners and resulted in exploitative contracts. These arrangements frequently left them in perpetual debt, as they were charged high prices for supplies and received little compensation for their labor. Additionally, legal and social barriers made it difficult for them to escape this cycle and achieve financial independence.
