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.
Famous exploited Black sharecroppers include individuals like John Henry and the families depicted in the works of author and activist Zora Neale Hurston. The sharecropping system, which emerged after the Civil War, often trapped Black farmers in cycles of debt and poverty, as they worked land owned by white landlords for a share of the crop. This exploitation is vividly chronicled in literature and historical accounts, highlighting the struggles and resilience of these communities. Their experiences significantly shaped the narrative of racial and economic inequality in the United States.
