Sharecroppers were charged high interest rates and had to give a portion of their crops to the landowners. This meant that most sharecroppers lived in poverty with little chance to own land or homes of their own.
Sharecroppers were forced to buy tools and seed from their landowners for exorbitant prices. When the harvest came in, the crops were sold for barely enough to pay off the loans the sharecroppers took out to eat and survive. This left little to pay off the debt that they owed.
The term for farmers who did not pay rent but worked the land they lived on is "sharecroppers." Sharecroppers typically paid a portion of their crops or profits to the landowner as rent. This system was prevalent in the Southern United States after the Civil War and often resulted in cycles of debt and poverty for the sharecroppers.
They shared their profits with the plantation owner.
Sharecroppers who made money in a growing season could rent more land, could find another landowner to share crop for, or they could look for work in a town. (all of the above)
The land owners took advantage of the sharecroppers leaving them poor and in need.
Technically, sharecroppers were not slaves. They did not own land so they borrowed land from rich land owners in return for some of the profit. Sharecroppers could plant what they liked, and basically do what they wanted, just as long as the land owner got his fair share of the profit.
They can grow anything the land will support. Sharecroppers grow whatever they can sell and part of their proceeds pays the land owner for the use of the land.
Sharecroppers are tenants who work on land owned by someone else and pay a portion of their crops as rent. Landowners, on the other hand, own the land and may lease or rent it out to sharecroppers or other tenants. Landowners have legal ownership and control over the land, while sharecroppers work the land in exchange for a share of the crops they produce.

Farmers owned the land they farmed, and could keep what they earned. Sharecroppers farmed land owned by someone else, and kept part of the profits from the crop.
ANSWER:Not all Whites in the South owned land, nor did they have slaves. Many Whites were just as poor as the Black slaves. Many had to hire themselves out to do work for the wealthy land owners.Some Whites were sharecroppers with powerful plantation owners. Of course the wealthy land owners would take advantage of the Whites, just as they did with their slaves.
