A share tenancy is a mis-leading term that is synonymous with share cropping. There was really no "sharing"at all. Rather, it allowed the continued oppression of the former slaves. This was a system of farming that arose at the end of the Civil War.The freed slaves were poor and uneducated. Farmers would make an arrangement with the sharecropper under which the former slaves would farm the land under strict supervision, purchase their supplies from the farmer, use his machinery and pay the farmer with a portion of the crop . . . a large portion, plus interest. The sharecropper could never catch up and remained dirt poor. All they had to offer was their labor and they had to use their labor to continue to live and they lived in abject poverty. It eventually involved poor whites also. It was a system that was filled with abuse and dishonesty.A related system was the crop lien system. The crop lien system kept many farmers in debt to merchants and banks in much the same was a sharecropper was always in debt to the owner. They could never catch up and earn any actual profits.
A registered British ship must have at least one share, and ownership can be divided among multiple shareholders. The maximum number of shares in a British ship is typically 64. Each share represents a proportional ownership stake in the vessel, and the ownership can be held by individuals, companies, or other entities.
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.
Sharecropping benefited both the workers and the owners. Sharecropping involved tenants farming land that is owned by someone else in return for a share of the crops.

Landowners often took advantage of workers
I believe a synonym for "share-cropping" is "farming" or even "agriculture".
