Sharecropping

=//__Sharecropping__//= Before learning about  Sharecropping. We Learned the African Americans That Was Slaves. They worked onh for no money.Before The abolition of slavery planters had forced young and older people to work on the la nd plantations for very long hours. Sharecropping in a way is still like slavery because its not there land.They also couldn’t grow crops to sell or feed there families.The way they gave the land to to people is they divided their land And gave it to each worker. They Only Gave it to to the Freed African Americans or the poor white people. **
 * Sharecropping is a system of farming that developed in the South after the Civil War, when landowners many of whom had formerly held slaves, lacked the cash to pay wages to farm laborer many of whom were former slaves. The system called for dividing the crop into three shares — one for the landowner, one for the worker, and one for whoever provided seeds, fertilizer, and farm equipment.

 * __Does Sharecropping matter today __****?...Well in many ways it do matter .Sharecropping might still seem like slavery. But this is just the being. It might not seem like a big deal to people but this is how they started the great migrations many of are black African Americans roots go back to the south. They could not do a lot with the land and they shared it. But you have to start off some where. Sharing land is better then working for people on there land. For no money and being owned by somebody .If we didn’t start off somewhere. We wouldn’t be where we are today. Something small of sharecropping is very important. **
