Sharecropping is one of the types of tenant farming that exists between the landowner and the person he allows to live on his land. Tenant farming is the situation where a landowner allows another person to live on his land and in return the tenant pays for that priviledge either through (1) giving over a portion of his crops to the landowner (sharecropping) or (2)payment in cash (which is not called sharecropping. Sharecropping involves giving over part of the crop to the landlord as payment for living on the land.
Sharecropping and Tenant farming were two systems that replaced the plantation system in the south after the Civil War.

During Reconstruction, a new system of farming was developed. The neo-peonage method of using tenant farmers on farms came to be known as sharecropping. The economic devastation of the south led to most of the land being used for cash crops rather than subsistence farming. Cash crops were the traditional antebellum ones like tobacco, cotton, sugar and rice.
Many of the same 'hands', but on a sharecropping basis - tenant farmers who owed some of the crop to the landlord, and free to sell the rest.
Sharecropping is a system of agriculture or agricultural production in which a landowner allows a tenant to use the land in return for a share of the crop produced on the land. A tenant farmer is one who resides on and farms land owned by a landlord.
sharecropping
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.
Sharecropping involved tenant farmers working a portion of a landowner's land in exchange for a share of the crops produced, while tenant farming involved renting land from a landowner and being able to keep all the produce grown. Sharecroppers often had fewer rights and faced more debt than tenant farmers.
Tenant Farming also called Sharecropping came about in 1865 in the United States.
