How did the crop lien system continue to drive farmers into debt

History
1 answer:
quester [9]3 years ago

<span>When the Civil War came to an end, the economy in the South was a shambles. Farmers did not have much in the way of cash and cotton prices were rock-bottom. This system gave both black and white farmers a way to receive credit in the months before planting. Some years, there was enough money to pay the debts and leave the farmer a little seed money for the next year, but in other years, prices were so low that the debt was not fully paid and farmers still owed at the beginning of the next growing season. Because cotton was the only crop that paid well at all, many merchants insisted that the sharecroppers who were in their debt grow it. Cotton is particularly hard on the soil, and the areas that sharecroppers used over and over lost their fertility. When prosperity hit the country at the end of World War II, the system ended, with many farmers leaving their pastures for new city jobs.Hope this answer helps! feel free to ask any additional questions :)</span>
