    sharecropping

    Explanation:

    Sharecropping is a system of tenancy agriculture. In it a landowner gives a portion of his land to a labour for the purpose of raising crop. In return, he gets a share of crop raised by him for free.

    After the civil war, former slaves were in search of jobs. Due to depression and absence of credit system, they went into this deal of sharecropping with whites. They also borrowed heavily for getting seeds and fertilizer. Landlords charged high interest rate for that which led them to debt-trap. Landowner also put condition like selling the yield on their condition at pre-specified cheap price.
