In a civil suit, one party (the plaintiff) files a complaint against another party (the defendant) in court, claiming that the defendant has caused harm or injury. The defendant then has the opportunity to respond to the allegations. Both parties present evidence and arguments to support their case, and a judge or jury decides the outcome. If the plaintiff wins, the defendant may be required to pay damages or take other actions to remedy the harm.

Can you sell property if you bought the same property off some one who has a civil suit against him?
As long as there is no lien on the property you can. If the civil suit is pending, then no judgment lien has attached to the property and you can buy it free and clear. If the civil suit relates directly to the property, the plaintiff may have put a lis pendens on it which is a type of pre-judgment lien that is permitted in some cases when the lawsuit is over the property itself. In addition, if the suit is for work done on the house by a contractor, there may be a mechanics' lien on the property. This is another pre-judgment lien that is permitted. In any event, if the civil suit is merely an action on a debt or a tort, the mere pendency of a civil suit does not create a lien on the property. Absent a lis pendens or mechanic's lien, the property may be purchased from the defendant and sold.

Why was sharecropping legal?
Sharecropping was a legal practice after the Civil War because it provided a way for former slaves and poor whites to work the land without having to own it. Landowners would allow tenants to use their land in exchange for a percentage of the crops grown. This system perpetuated a cycle of debt and poverty for the sharecroppers.
