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.

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.
