Answer 2

Sharecropping: system of farm tenancy once common in some parts of the United States. In the United States the institution arose at the end of the Civil War out of the plantation system. Many planters had ample land but little money for wages. At the same time most of the former slaves were uneducated and impoverished. The solution was the sharecropping system, which continued the workers in the routine of cotton cultivation under rigid supervision. Economic features of the system were gradually extended to poor white farmers. The cropper brought to the farm only his own and his family’s labor. Most other requirements—land, animals, equipment, and seed—were provided by the landlord, who generally also advanced credit to meet the living expenses of the cropper family. Most croppers worked under the close direction of the landlord, and he marketed the crop and kept accounts. Normally in return for their work they received a share (usually half) of the money realized. From this share was deducted the debt to the landlord. High interest charges, emphasis on production of a single cash crop, slipshod accounting, and chronic cropper irresponsibility were among the abuses of the system. Farm mechanization and a marked reduction in cotton acreage have virtually put an end to the system.

Answer 3

Sounds like a homework question to me, but here you are.
It was called sharecropping, in return for a share of the crops(usually the largest share) a farmer would recieve a home(Shack) seed, and basic tools. He was on his own as far as providing a mule to work the ground, etc. Most share croppers never got any richer than the dirt they worked for another man.

Answer 4

sharecropping. This was essentially one way slavery kind of continued. It was essentially a feudal system.
