When sharecropping first developed, what did it offer African Americans?
the opportunity to learn how to farm by working for landowners
the opportunity to farm part time and attend school part time
the opportunity to save money by using crops to pay rent
the opportunity to rent and farm land they could not afford to buy
Share cropping allowed African Americans to have a sense of freedom, because basically in this system, you would take care of someone else's crops. If they had a good harvest, you get a part of the share.
