Most of the freedmen became sharecroppers of the landowners. Although they were promised wages, the freedmen ended up with more debts than they could pay. This economic opportunity turned out to be another form of servitude. The sharecroppers had to live on credit from the landowners until they were able to sell their cotton. Oftentimes they still owed the landowners because the latter charged high prices and interest which they collected out of the crop earnings at the end of the season. More often than not, this left the sharecropper with very minimal or no profit at all and they had to work off this debt the next season.

Hitman42 [59]

CAUSES Cold War Causes & Effects CAUSE #2 Cause #3 Effect #3 Cause #4 Effect #2 Effect #1 The Allies didn't all agree with what should happen next with Eastern Europe. They all had different ideas . The Soviet Union wanted to be in control of the satellite states , while the other nations thought they should be free . Stalin wanted Germany to be a divided country, while the United States & Britain wanted a united Germany. At Potsdam, Stalin didn't want to give free elections, for Eastern Europe countries that were under Soviet Control. Truman believed that Stalin's goal was to overtake the world and to convert it all to Communism. The Western powers were afraid of Soviet expansion. The Soviet Union blockaded West Berlin, but after the
Western allies performed an airlift , the Soviet Union took the blockade down and West Berlin was then on its own. The United States helped Greece and Turkey, economically, so that they could fight against Communism. A policy known as the Truman Doctrine, promised 
countries that the United States would help them if
they were struggling against Communism. CAUSE #1 EFFECTS & Effect #4 Western Europe nations and the United States get together and form the NATO, while the satellite states and the Soviet Union get together and make the Warsaw Pact.
