Many former salves expected the federal government to give them a certain amount of land as compensation for all the work they had done during the slave era. During Reconstruction, however, the conflict over labor resulted in the sharecropping system, in which black families would rent small plots of land in return for a portion of their crop, to be given to the landowner at the end of each year.
Answer:
B.
Explanation:
The Supreme Court of the United States comprises of total number of nine Justices. One is the Chief Justice, remaining eight are associate Justices. The Justices, in the US Supreme Court are nominated by the President and after they are found to be eligible the Senates approve them. The Justices serve in the office for their lifetime.
To limit the number of decisions not reaching a majority rule, the Court is structured with odd number of Justices. Having an odd number of Justices in the court obliterate the possibility of having even number of votes which may hinder in reaching the conclusion of a case.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
