Answer that I'll offer: PURSUING WISDOM
There were many Greek philosophers, and their ideas were not all in agreement with each other. But in general, the Greek philosophers all agreed that pursuing wisdom is the most important thing in life. One of the earliest of Greek philosophers, Pythagoras (in the 6th century BC), is thought to have coined the term "philosopher." The report is that Pythagoras did not want to claim to be a wise man who already had great wisdom, but that he was a "lover of wisdom" who sought to be wise. In Greek, "philos" is a word for "love" and "sophia" is the word for wisdom. So a "philosopher" is a "lover of wisdom."
The great philosopher Socrates (5th century BC) was famous for saying, "The unexamined life is not worth living." He saw the goal of his life as constantly seeking wisdom -- and that what truly made him wise was recognizing how little he truly knew with certainty.
Other Greek philosophers like Plato and Aristotle and more followed in that tradition. They did not all agree on all the details of what the best pattern is for life in this world. But they did all seek wisdom as the most important thing in life.

Answer:
<h2>A state of virtual slavery </h2>
Explanation:
Sharecropping was the system in which the landowner gives plots of land to a tenant in exchange for a share of harvest. It allowed the tenants to produce more to stay tied to the land.
In the southern US black families rented lands from the white owners and raised crops like rice, tobacco and cotton. The landlords and merchant used to lease the equipment credit, food, fertilisers and seeds on credit until the harvest season.
But this system was not different from slavery as unpredictable harvests, high interest rates kept the black families indebted and the debts had to cried over to the next year. The laws which required the harvest to be sold only to the landlord and prevented the former slaves from changing their landlord if they were indebted to them.
Two third of all the sharecroppers were white and one third were black. Sharecropping faded away in 1940's due to mechanisation, great depression and various other factors in 1940's.
