8 déc. 1865 - Sharecropping 1865
Description:
By the early 1870s, the system known as sharecropping had come to dominate agriculture across the South. Under this system, families would rent small plots of land, or shares, to work themselves; in return, they would give a portion of their crop to the landowner at the end of the harvest season.Ajouté au bande de temps:
