<u>Sharecropping</u> is an arrangement with a land owner who rents out their land to a farmer for the payment of a percentage of the crop instead of cash.
<em><u>The land owner</u></em> get 50% of the profits without effort or risk.
If the crop failed, <u><em>the sharecroppers</em></u> could not pay off the loan for the seed. <u><em>The sharecroppers</em></u> then were in debt to the landowner at the start of the next growing season. The result was that <u><em>the sharecropper</em></u> though free were enslaved to the landowner by the debt
The correct answer is: "<em><u>The sharecroppers were benefited least from a sharecropping arrangement, they did all of the work, took all of the risks, and got very little in return</u></em>".
