sharecropping
Sharecropping primarily disadvantaged the sharecroppers themselves, who were often poor, landless farmers, typically African Americans in the South after the Civil War. They faced exploitative contracts that left them in debt to landowners, limiting their economic mobility and keeping them in a cycle of poverty. Additionally, landowners benefited significantly, as they maintained control over land and resources without having to pay fair wages or provide adequate living conditions for the sharecroppers.
In America sharecropping continued from the decade following the civil war till the 1970's.

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.
