The labor system that developed in the South after the Civil War is known as sharecropping. This system allowed poor black and white farmers to work land owned by others in exchange for a share of the crops produced. While it provided a means of subsistence, sharecropping often trapped families in a cycle of debt and poverty, perpetuating economic inequality in the region.

After the Civil War, the South developed a system of sharecropping and tenant farming. Sharecroppers, often formerly enslaved people, would work on land owned by someone else in exchange for a share of the crop, while tenant farmers rented land and paid rent with a portion of their harvest. This system perpetuated economic dependence and poverty among many African Americans and poor white farmers, as they often fell into cycles of debt and exploitation. The agricultural focus remained on cash crops like cotton and tobacco, which continued to shape the region's economy.

The Chinese civilisation was the first to have a civil service where joining it was open to anyone who could pass the entrance examination. As such it was the first modern civil service system.
The crop lien law required debtors, typically farmers, to pledge a portion of their future crop yield as collateral for loans or credit extended by merchants or landowners. This meant that if the farmers failed to repay their debts, the creditors had a legal claim to the crops produced. The law often placed farmers in a cycle of debt, as they were forced to borrow repeatedly to cover expenses, leading to a reliance on the same merchants for credit. Ultimately, this system contributed to economic difficulties and exploitation of impoverished farmers, particularly in the post-Civil War South.

The Romans developed a system of civil law which became the model for the civil laws of European states ever since the rediscovery of the Corpus Iuris Civilis (Body of Civil law, a compendium which had been commissioned by Justinian I) in a library in Pisa in 1070.
Sharecropping had both positive and negative aspects. It provided a means for many freed slaves and impoverished farmers to work land and gain a livelihood after the Civil War. However, the system often perpetuated cycles of poverty and debt, as sharecroppers were frequently exploited by landowners. Ultimately, while it offered some opportunities, sharecropping largely maintained economic inequality and dependence.
