Why is share cropping a form of slavery?
The people working on the property, do not own the land. They do all the work, and the owners get most of the money. There is a contract for share cropping in which the people working on the land are not allowed to stop their work because they most likely owe money to the real owners of the land. Therefore these people work against their own free will and are slaves.
Was sharecropping successful?
Sharecropping was not ultimately successful for the majority of sharecroppers, as they often found themselves trapped in cycles of debt and poverty due to unfair contracts and low crop yields. Sharecroppers typically did not own the land they worked on and had little control over their economic circumstances. Ultimately, sharecropping perpetuated a system of economic exploitation and limited social mobility for those involved.

If slavery is illegal how can sharecropping be legal?
Slavery is illegal in the terms it was used in the 1800's in the United States. Slavery is still alive in some African countries as well as parts of Asia. The people who are engaged in sharecropping always have the choice to leave the farm and go somewhere else. Slaves don't. Modern sharecropping is also under the control of a mutually-agreed-upon contract which spells out the responsibilities and benefits to both parties which can be enforced by a court of law. Sharecropping you are not forced to live at the place you are. Slavery you are forced by your will to work. Sharecropping you have to pick stuff from other peoples land in which you are living on. You give the landowners how ever much they want. In slavery you are not allowed to keep anything.
