How did sharecropping help control blacks?
Sharecroppers were basically freed slaves who kept on working just as they had been while they were slaves. They were "allowed" to keep working the land and had to turn most of what they grew over to the landlord. This kept them from owning land, therefore they were always tenants working off their debts. The owner kept them poor and in the fields so they could never 'grow' their way out of poverty or virtual servitude.
