 But sharecroppers were still poor, and it was hard for them to save money to buy their own land. White land-owners liked that, because they didn't want black people to own their own land.


Many white farmers also became sharecroppers after the Civil War. In Mississippi, for instance, about a third of the white farmers were sharecroppers, and more than three-quarters of the black farmers were sharecroppers. Nearly all of the land-owners, though, were white. The white land-owners arranged things so that most sharecroppers could not make enough money sharecropping to buy their food and clothes. They ended up having to borrow money from the land-owners, and soon they were always in debt. The land-owners said they could not leave the land if they owed money, so in many places share-cropping ended up being a lot like slavery.

The correct answer is B) most African American sharecroppers ended each year owing money to the landlord, thus preventing them from leaving the land.

The statement that explains how the sharecropping system kept emancipated slaves tied to the plantation land they had worked before the Civil War is "most African American sharecroppers ended each year owing money to the landlord, thus preventing them from leaving the land."

After the Civil War, farmers paid rent for working on the farm fields owned by landlords. They also worked with landlords and they were paid low wages. But the working conditions were not fair for farmers to prosper and instead of making money and grow, farmers ended up with big unpayable debts in a vice circle.

The other options of the question were A) sharecroppers who failed to pay the landlord the amount owed were sent to forced-labor prisons until the debt was paid. C) only large landowners such as former plantation owner had enough land to make a sharecropping arrangement possible and profitable. D) the typical sharecropping contract required farmers to pledge to work the land for a long period, thus keeping African Americans from leaving agricultural labor.

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Central government should be allowed to impose taxes.

Explanation:

It should be allowed to impose taxes, because, there are certain projects, that only a central government can efficiently oversee and fund. Example:

- army to fight foreign powers

- any projects that benefits the country as a whole AND at the same time, benefits some states more than others. Example: continental railroad benefits the whole country, BUT you have to say, that some states get more benefit than others.
