Answer:
This sharecropping contract is one-sided mainly because one party (white man) is exercising unreasonable pressure to get it signed by other party (Henry Adams). Other reasons making it a one-sided contract are duress (use of threat) and unequal bargaining power.
Explanation:
A one-sided contract is unfair to one party and gives the other party an undue advantage.
A one sided contract is unenforceable under law and is hence called unconscionable contract. A contract is considered one-sided for one or more of the following reasons;
Undue influence: Exercising of unreasonable pressure by one party over the other party.
Duress: Use of threats by one party to the other party to get the contract signed.
Unequal Bargaining Power: It is when one party lacks complete understanding and experience to fully understand the terms and conditions of the contract.
