sharecropping
The families lived on sharecropping land
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.

Land Owners.
Sharecropping benefited both the workers and the owners. Sharecropping involved tenants farming land that is owned by someone else in return for a share of the crops.
The landowners benefited least from a sharecropping arrangement, as they often faced financial instability and reliance on the labor of sharecroppers for their income. While they initially retained ownership of the land, the sharecropping system often led to cycles of debt for both parties, limiting the landowners' ability to profit significantly. Additionally, as sharecroppers struggled to make ends meet, landowners found it challenging to maintain consistent agricultural output and profitability. Overall, the system was designed to exploit the labor of sharecroppers, leaving landowners with diminishing returns.
Land Owners.
After the Civil War, former slaves sought jobs, and planters sought laborers. The absence of cash or an independent credit system led to the creation of sharecropping. Sharecropping is a system where the landlord/planter allows a tenant to use the land in exchange for a share of the crop.
