Answer 1

Answer 2

Answer:

They had to share the crops produced to the owner as rent.

Explanation:

The sharecropping was an economic system that was practiced in the Southern states of the U.S. once the Civil War ended and the Reconstruction era began. It was a form of agriculture in which a landowner gave a small plot of land to a family or an individual (the sharecropper) so they can work on it and, in return, the sharecropper had to share a big part of the crops produced with the owner, usually at the end of the year.
