Answer:
This is a Sharecropper’s contract.
Explanation:
After the Civil War, several free slaves created farms on land that had been abandoned by white people (white Southerners). The Democrat President Andrew Johnson, who was a slaveholder, restored every land to the white owners. Thus, former slaves were economically dependent. However, they asked for autonomy and the Sharecropper’s contract was created. It stated that landowners had to divide plantations and create an acre suitable for farming by a family. In exchange for the use of land and supplies, sharecroppers had to give generally 50 % of the crops to the white landlords. Yet, the owners gave credits for sharecroppers to buy goods with very high-interest rates, which gave rise to poverty. This contract, in particular, was made between landowner Isham G. Bailey in Marshall County, Mississippi, and two freedmen in 1867 and it stipulated different arrangements for both families living in the land.

3x = 1 - 5
3x = -4
x = -4/3
