The system often trapped laborers in a cycle of debt and dependence while allowing landowners to profit from laborers’ hard work.

Answer:

Sharecropping farming was introduced in the South after the Civil War in America in the Reconstruction era. The South lost the war, the states were in complete ruin with destruction. The planters in the South, who own plantation were in debt with no slaves to work in the field.  Sharecropping gave the poor farmers, both white and black, to earn a living by working in the fields of planters in the South. Which somewhat helped in gaining stability in the economy of the South.
