Sharecropping is a system of agriculture in which a landowner allows a tenant to use the land in return for a share of the crop produced on the land. Sharecropping became very popular after the war. When many blacks could not find jobs and owned no land to farm on, the had to resort to sharecropping. Usually, sharecropping is a bad arrangement for the tenant and they are almost always cheated out of their money. Although it was not ideal, it was the only job many blacks could find after the war.
