Free slaves economically--sharecropping forced former slaves back to the land they had worked and kept them indebted to the landholder.
The system of sharecropping meant for a piece of land to farm, a person would owe a portion of their crop to the landholder. This program kept blacks enslaved to the land not allowing them true freedom to leave and become ecnomically independent.

Answer: A. Jesus had his claim rejected by the Jewish religious authorities.
Explanation: Jesus believed that he was sent from God to redeem the chosen people for their sins. He spoke for himself that he was the son of God, the Messiah who, according to the Old Testament, was to come and save people from misery and slavery. The Jews believed in the coming of the Messiah, and though some believed that Jesus was the Messiah, such as his disciples and many others whom Jesus helped, cured, etc., the official representatives of Judaism, i.e. religious leaders, rejected it with indignation, as the Christ's entire teaching. They considered that Christ's claim that he was the Messiah was a great sin, and that he was condemned to crucifixion, and his followers, the Christians, were labelled as a sect and fiercely persecuted.
