sharecropping did not cause the civil war but it happened after when they couldnt have slaves anymore
The freed slaves almost always lacked the money to purchase the land in order to start an economic activity on their own. So , the Freedmen Bureau was active in encouraging the former plantation owners, who needed the labour of the former slaves, to hire them as employees and have their plantations rebuilt. Since the owners had not enough money for the purpose, it was found the solution of the sharecropping system, by which they leased land in exchange of a portion of the crop.

Freedmen often resorted to sharecropping due to limited access to land and resources after being emancipated. Sharecropping provided them with a way to earn a living when they had little else to start with.
it was failing because the freedmen were parting the money that they made with working with white men but they also had to pay rent to the owner of the farm so the freedmen made no moneymade no money
Sharecropping made it difficult for freedmen to achieve economic independence because it often trapped them in a cycle of debt and dependency. Landowners would provide land, seeds, and tools in exchange for a share of the crop, but high rents and unfair pricing for supplies meant that many sharecroppers were unable to earn enough to pay off their debts. This system effectively tied freedmen to the land and their employers, limiting their ability to save money or invest in their own enterprises. As a result, sharecropping perpetuated poverty and restricted economic mobility for many African Americans in the post-Civil War South.

Sharecropping because African Americans were still dependent on the white farmers, now they were just economically dependent. It was also cheap labor and often, the freedmen would be stuck in debt and would not be able to leave.
