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.

What did landlord wanted from black sharecroppers?

Landlords typically wanted black sharecroppers to cultivate their land and produce crops, primarily cotton, in exchange for a share of the profits. They often imposed harsh and exploitative contracts that favored the landlords, leading to a cycle of debt and poverty for the sharecroppers. This system was a way to maintain control over the labor force and perpetuate economic inequality in the post-Civil War South. Ultimately, the landlords sought to maximize their profits while minimizing the financial stability of the sharecroppers.
