The contract system and sharecropping often led to exploitation and poverty for laborers, as they were typically bound to unfavorable agreements that kept them in a cycle of debt. Landowners frequently manipulated terms, resulting in high rents and a lack of economic mobility for sharecroppers. Additionally, both systems perpetuated racial inequalities, as many African American farmers faced discrimination and limited access to resources, further entrenching their economic disadvantage. This resulted in a cycle of dependency and limited opportunities for advancement.
