Were the sharecropper the people who shared a crop with landowners and merchants?

Sharecroppers were farmers who worked land owned by someone else. They usually did not have seeds or tools to work the land or the money to buy them, so they "bought" them from the landowner. When the crop was harvested, the owner first deducted the cost of seeds, tools, and other items bought by the sharecropped, then took a share of the crop as rent for the land.In a good year, the sharecropper might come out ahead and be able to buy seed for the next year and have some cash left over. In a bad year, the sharecropper ended up still in debt to the landowner.

Before harvest, they were treated much better, having a good place to stay in their master's estate and assisting in crop planning. A good ammount moved north where (despite discrimination and racism to SOME degree) they could get jobs in factories and such.

Who were the sharecroppers after civil war?

The share croppers are the freed slaves that "rented" a white farmers land in exchange for an agreement of a percentage of the sharecroppers yearly crops. They "share" "crops", thus the name sharecroppers. By the 1900's most of these sharecroppers had land of their own. The agreed percentages varied from 5% to 95% it all depended on the person or "landlord" so-to-speak and the richness of the soil therefore determining the crops that could be grown.

Why was slavery a good system for landowners?

Slavery provided landowners with a cheap and abundant labor force, allowing them to maximize profits without incurring high labor costs. This system also allowed for increased control over the workforce, as slaves had no rights and could be disciplined or punished at the landowner's discretion. Additionally, the intergenerational nature of slavery ensured a long-term, stable source of labor for landowners.
