Contracts between landowners and sharecroppers were often manipulated during the era of Reconstruction.

The era of Reconstruction took place after the Civil War. This period saw the United States rebuilding after the four years of fighting between the Union and Confederacy. During this time, African-Americans were freed from slavery and now able to work for wages. This is where sharecropping comes in.

Sharecropping is a system in which a landowner rents out some of his land to another person. In return, this person will give the landowner a share of the crops he develops. Landowners took advantage of this system and often accused African American sharecroppers of not paying the landowners with enough resources. This resulted in African American sharecroppers accumulating debt and being stuck on the same rented plot of land for a signficant amount of time.

What were supreme courts views on corporation rights in late 1880s

Tomtit [17]

Corporate personhood is the legal notion that a corporation, separately from its associated human beings (like owners, managers, or employees), has at least some of the legal rights and responsibilities enjoyed by natural persons (physical humans).[1] In the United States and most countries, corporations have a right to enter into contracts with other parties and to sue or be sued in court in the same way as natural persons or unincorporated associations of persons. In a U.S. historical context, the phrase 'Corporate Personhood' refers to the ongoing legal debate over the extent to which rights traditionally associated with natural persons should also be afforded to corporations. A headnote issued by the Court Reporter in the 1886 Supreme Court case Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Co. claimed to state the sense of the Court regarding the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment as it applies to corporations, without the Court having actually made a decision or issued a written opinion on that point. This was the first time that the Supreme Court was reported to hold that the Fourteenth Amendment's equal protection clause granted constitutional protections to corporations as well as to natural persons, although numerous other cases, since Dartmouth College v. Woodward in 1819, had recognized that corporations were entitled to some of the protections of the Constitution. In Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. (2014), the Court found that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 exempted Hobby Lobby from aspects of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act because those aspects placed a substantial burden on the closely held company's owners' exercise of free religion.[2]
