A sharecropper is a farmer who works land owned by someone else and pays a share of the crops produced as rent. For example, in the Southern United States during the post-Civil War era, many African Americans became sharecroppers, cultivating cotton on white landowners' farms in exchange for a portion of the harvest, often leaving them in a cycle of debt and poverty.
