The given passage is from the contract between a landowner and a sharecropper titled "A Sharecrop Contract" (1882). The contract clearly states the terms of the agreement, which mostly agrees or favors the landowner's interest.
The contract, and especially the given points mostly make points for the interest of the landowner. And the contract seems to be written from the landowner's point of view, for it clearly states the other party as <em>"[they] must sow and plow"</em> which can only be the other person and not the landowner. landowners will not sow or plow the land, so it is quite obvious that the contract has been written from the landowner's point of view.
