Sharecroppers had no control over which crops were planted or how they were sold. sharecropper had to haul logs and repair the owner's fence when ordered. Sharecroppers could only sell their harvest after their rents were paid off
The Chinese empire has been subject to unfair unilateral treatment for centuries. As foreign powers such as the Portuguese and the British sought to get their hands on this country's riches. This can be seen during the Opium Wars, which led to the colonization of the ports of Macao and Hong Kong, by the Portuguese and British respectively.
The military power exercised over China by foreign powers was replaced by the economic power of this same nations in the form of foreign investment that comes to China and sets up manufacturing sites that set unideal working conditions for Chinese locals at the expense of the enrichment of these businesses.
Native Americans were very close to nature. If the geography had changed, then Native Americans would change the way they lived as well.
Hope that helped :))
