Sharecropping in the South resulted in a cycle of debt for many tenant farmers, as they were often unable to break free from the system due to low crop yields and high interest rates. This led to a decline in agricultural productivity and innovation, as landowners prioritized short-term profits over long-term sustainability and efficiency in farming practices. Ultimately, sharecropping entrenched poverty and limited economic opportunities for southern farmers.
Both tenant farming and sharecropping were agricultural systems prevalent in the southern United States after the Civil War. Both involved renting land to work and paying a portion of the harvest as a form of payment to the landowner. However, in sharecropping, the tenant typically received a share of the harvest, while in tenant farming, the tenant paid rent in cash or crops.

Okonkwo had to use sharecropping to build his farm in "Things Fall Apart" because he had no yams of his own to start farming with. By entering into a sharecropping agreement with Nwakibie, Okonkwo was able to gain access to land and resources to begin his farming operation. Sharecropping allowed Okonkwo to gradually build his farm and wealth over time.
Sharecropping was a form of agriculture in the South where landless farmers rented land and paid the landowner with a portion of the crops harvested. It often trapped farmers in cycles of debt and poverty due to exploitative agreements. Sharecropping played a significant role in perpetuating economic hardship for many African Americans after the Civil War.
