Sharecropping contracts typically favored the landowners, often resulting in unfair terms for the sharecroppers. Landowners controlled the land, tools, and supplies, ultimately keeping a significant portion of the crops produced by sharecroppers. Sharecroppers were often left with very little profit or autonomy.
The land owners took advantage of the sharecroppers leaving them poor and in need.
Contracts between landowners and sharecroppers typically outline the terms of the arrangement, including the division of labor, the sharing of crops, and any compensation for the sharecropper. These contracts can vary widely and are subject to negotiation, but it's important for both parties to clearly understand and agree to the terms to avoid disputes later on. Landowners often provide land and resources, while sharecroppers provide labor and expertise in cultivation.
The landowners both had former slaves and poor whites working for them.
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.
It is 'probably true' that all these contracts heavily favored the landowner. He kept the books and could manipulate costs and profits at will. And of course: no profit, no profit share and payment for the sharecropper. Also, it is true that many landowners had a 'company store' that the sharecroppers were obliged to use. So, even if there was a profit share, most or all of it went to the payment of the debt run up at that store.
Feudal landownership refers to a system where nobles or lords own large estates and grant land to vassals in exchange for loyalty and service. Sharecropping involves farmers renting land from landowners and paying with a portion of their crop instead of cash. While feudalism was a hierarchical system based on loyalty and service, sharecropping emerged after the abolition of slavery and often resulted in tenant farmers being trapped in cycles of debt.
