 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.

In what ways did some Jackson attempt to strengthen power of the Executive Branch over the other branches?
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Answer Below:

Explanation:

Despite the Eaton Affair, Jackson still managed to roll up his sleeves and accomplish his reform, retrenchment and economic plans.

Jackson took office with great expectations to cleanse government of corruption and restore the nation’s finances. Washington’s elite feared that Jackson would fire everyone that held government positions, even the competent, and replace them with his own people. Although Jackson replaced only about ten percent of the government officers he held power over, it was a high percentage compared to his predecessors.

The officers he replaced were largely inept, corrupt or were politically opposed to Jackson. For this, Jackson is credited with what he called “the principle of rotation in office,” but others would label it the “spoils system.”

Jackson kept a watchful eye over government expenditures and congressional appropriations. In one instance, he vetoed a road bill approved by Congress. On top of being too costly, the bill only benefitted one area of the country and failed to improve the nation’s defenses. Prior to Jackson, presidents had only vetoed legislation they believed to be unconstitutional. Jackson established a new principle of vetoing legislation as a matter of policy.

Jackson’s spending controls along with increased revenue enabled him to pay off the national debt in 1835 and keep the nation debt free for the remainder of his term. This is the only time in the nation’s history that the federal government was debt free.

Andrew Jackson is the only president in American history to pay off the national debt and leave office with the country in the black.
