What was the purpose of sharecropping

History
1 answer:
ANTONII [103]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Following the Civil War, plantation owners were unable to farm their land. They did not have slaves or money to pay a free labor force, so sharecropping developed as a system that could benefit plantation owners and former slaves.

Explanation:

After the Civil War, former slaves sought jobs, and planters sought laborers. The absence of cash or an independent credit system led to the creation of sharecropping. ... The Great Depression, mechanization, and other factors lead sharecropping to fade away in the 1940s.
