White landowners often resorted to violence against African Americans to maintain their economic power and social dominance in the post-Civil War South. By instilling fear and suppressing Black labor and political participation, they aimed to uphold a racial hierarchy that favored white supremacy. This violence was also a means to resist the changes brought about by Reconstruction, including land redistribution and civil rights advancements for African Americans. Ultimately, such acts were intended to reinforce a system that benefited white landowners at the expense of Black autonomy and rights.

A sharecropper in the South typically worked on land owned by someone else, providing labor in exchange for a share of the crop produced. They often had to purchase supplies and equipment on credit, which meant they were frequently in debt to landowners or local merchants. This system entrenched economic dependency and limited the sharecropper's ability to achieve financial independence. Sharecroppers were predominantly African American, especially in the post-Civil War era, and faced significant social and economic challenges.
Sharecropping was largely detrimental for newly freed Black Southerners. While it provided some opportunity for land use, it often trapped them in a cycle of debt and poverty due to exploitative contracts and high interest rates on supplies. Sharecroppers had to give a significant portion of their crops to landowners, limiting their ability to achieve financial independence. Ultimately, it perpetuated economic dependency and social inequality, undermining the promise of freedom.
