A farmer is provided with land, tools and seed. He plants, tends and harvests the crop, and divides the profit with the land owner.
Sharecropping is a system of agriculture or agricultural production in which a landowner allows a tenant to use the land in return for a share of the crop produced on the land. A tenant farmer is one who resides on and farms land owned by a landlord.

Landowners
A Sharecropper is a farmer who doesn't own the land he farms. The landlord that owns the land gives the farmer a place to live, buys the seed for the farmer to plant. The farmer gets a share of the profits for his labor. It was not usually much, but his family had a place to live and food on the table.
sharecropping affected African Americans and poor whites.

A sharecropper is a farmer who works on land owned by someone else, typically a landlord, in exchange for a share of the crops produced.
