Tenant farmers were different from sharecroppers because they usually had their own tools and animals.
Sharecroppers had an agreement to live on a farm. While there they would grow crops and split the profits with the landlord.
The landowners give the sharecroppers enough money to live on.
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.

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. I'm always trying to answer the newest questions, and hope this is a good enough answer that got here fast enough! Good luck on all future endeavors.

No, all sharecroppers were not African American
Technically, sharecroppers were not slaves. They did not own land so they borrowed land from rich land owners in return for some of the profit. Sharecroppers could plant what they liked, and basically do what they wanted, just as long as the land owner got his fair share of the profit.
