to provide "cashless" landowners with a source of farm labor -Blissful
The invention of cotton picking machines.
Sharecropping emerged as the dominant labor system in the South after the Civil War due to the economic devastation and the need for agricultural labor. With the abolition of slavery, many formerly enslaved people sought autonomy but lacked resources to own land. Sharecropping allowed them to work land owned by others in exchange for a share of the crops, providing a semblance of independence while still tying them to the landowners economically. This system perpetuated a cycle of debt and poverty, making it difficult for sharecroppers to achieve true financial independence.
Sharecropping was a form of agriculture in the South where landless farmers rented land and paid the landowner with a portion of the crops harvested. It often trapped farmers in cycles of debt and poverty due to exploitative agreements. Sharecropping played a significant role in perpetuating economic hardship for many African Americans after the Civil War.
