What effect did the sharecropping system have on the South?

1 answer:

5 0

The effect of the sharecropping system on the South brought prosperity back to plantation owners and tenant farmers.

Explanation:

Sharecropping farming was introduced in the South after the Civil War in America in the Reconstruction era.

Many newly freed African Americans moved toward peonage, did sharecropping work to pay off debt through labour.
Sharecropping is a system where the planter allows a tenant to use the land.
Sharecropping was worse as it increased the amount of debt that freed slaves owed to plantation owners.
Sharecropping was similar to slavery, sharecroppers owed money to the plantation owners, and they had to give all money they made from cotton.
To clear of debt, former slaves, forced to work in the land of plantation owners and tenant farmers, which brought prosperity back.

Therefore we can conclude that the sharecropping system in the South effected former slaves because they were bound to the land to pay off their debt.

Thus option G. "It brought prosperity back to plantation owners and tenant farmers", is the correct answer.

viktelen [127]

The correct answer is B) the policy of segregation practiced in the South.

The main reason why it was more expensive to operate a school system in the South than in the North? was "the policy of segregation practiced in the South."

We can set an example to better explain the level of segregation it existed in the South.

The events of the Little Rock crisis.

We are talking about the terrible segregation times in the southern states of the United States. Specifically, in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1957. The Little Rock Crisis started when nine African American students were prevented from entering the public school premises in Little Rock Central High School. State governor Orval Faubus gave the order. The decision made the news and generated consternation in many citizens. The decision tarnished the reputation of the state to the degree that President Dwight Eisenhower had to intervene to resolve the issue and the students could get access to the school.

Why did the United States insist that the platt amendment be added to Cuba’s constitution?

Ket [755]

Answer:It established that Cuba's boundaries would not include the Isle of Pines (Isla de la Juventud) until its title could be established in a future treaty. The amendment also demanded that Cuba sell or lease lands to the United States necessary for coaling or the development of naval stations.

Explanation:Enacted by: the 56th United States Congress

On March 2, 1901, the Platt Amendment was passed as part of the 1901 Army Appropriations Bill.[1] It stipulated seven conditions for the withdrawal of United States troops remaining in Cuba at the end of the Spanish–American War, and an eighth condition that Cuba sign a treaty accepting these seven conditions. It defined the terms of Cuban–U.S. relations to essentially be an unequal one of U.S. dominance over Cuba.

On December 25, 1901, Cuba amended its constitution to contain, word for word, the seven applicable demands of the Platt Amendment.[2]

On May 22, 1903, Cuba entered into a treaty with the United States to make the same required seven pledges: the Cuban–American Treaty of Relations of 1903.[1] Two of the seven pledges were to allow the United States to intervene unilaterally in Cuban affairs, and a pledge to lease land to the United States for naval bases on the island. (The Cuban-American Treaty of Relations of 1934 replaced the 1903 Treaty of Relations, and dropped three of the seven pledges.)

The 1903 Treaty of Relations was used as justification for the Second Occupation of Cuba from 1906 to 1909. On September 29, 1906, Secretary of War (and future U.S. president) William Howard Taft initiated the Second Occupation of Cuba when he established the Provisional Government of Cuba under the terms of the treaty (Article three), declaring himself Provisional Governor of Cuba.[3][4] On October 23, 1906, President Roosevelt issued Executive Order 518, ratifying the order.[3]

On May 29, 1934, the United States and Cuba signed the 1934 Treaty of Relations that in its first article abrogates the 1903 Treaty of Relations.
