Why couldn’t African-Americans or poor White farmers start their own farms?

History

Mnenie [13.5K]3 years ago

Although the tenant/sharecropping system is usually thought of as a development that occurred after the Civil War, this type of farming existed in antebellum Mississippi, especially in the areas of the state with few slaves or plantations, such as northeast Mississippi.

Not all whites who emigrated to even the poorest parts of Mississippi in the years before the Civil War had the funds to purchase a farm. As a result, most of the men who headed these households worked as tenant farmers or sharecroppers. Many rented land from or farmed on shares with family members and typically received favorable arrangements, but some antebellum tenants or sharecroppers had to deal with landlords who were primarily concerned with making profits rather than helping struggling farmers move toward landownership.

Consider the sharecropping arrangement that Richard Bridges of Marshall County worked out with his landlord, T. L. Treadwell, in the 1850s. Treadwell provided Bridges with land, livestock, and tools; the landlord also advanced Bridges some food. Bridges grew corn and cotton, and at the end of the year, he had to give Treadwell one-sixth of the corn he grew and five-sixths of the cotton raised. From his share of the crop, Bridges also had to pay Treadwell for the use of the livestock and tools and for the food advanced. Obviously, Bridges worked the entire year primarily for the food he needed to live. He had no opportunity to make any money from this arrangement and accumulate the capital that would allow him to purchase his own farm.

Why did many people die during the indian removal?
Ganezh [65]

Hello there!

The reason why so many Indians died during the Indian removal was because the thousand mile journey they took to the Indian territory was deadly, due to the lack of support from the government. This would be known as the "Trail of Tears."

This journey that the Indians took was by walk, they didn't have cars or airplanes during the time, so they were forced out of their own land to the Indian territory, which was thousands of miles away form where they were settled. In the walk, they mostly walked barefooted, and were chained to each other. During the walk to the Indian territory, they mostly encountered <u>starvation, thirst, and no help from the government.</u> They weren't supplied any food, or other supplies to help them through the journey, which caused thousands of deaths in the journey, and only a few survived. This showed that the government didn't care for the people. That's why it's known as the "Trail of Tears" and "Death."

2. Under what specific circumstances does Dr. King advocate breaking the law?
AleksAgata [21]

One may well ask: "How can you advocate breaking some laws and obeying others?" The answer lies in the fact that there are two types of laws: just and unjust. I would be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a legal, but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that "an unjust law is no law at all."
