Sharecropping began in the US Southern States after the plantation system was destroyed by the civil war. The white southern land owners hired the newly emancipated slaves to cultivate the land and grow crops in return for a place to live, usually a dilapidated shack and half of the the crop's earnings. Of course, it never worked out this way. Sharecropping was simply a quasar form of slavery.
Tenant Farming also called Sharecropping came about in 1865 in the United States.
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.
