C. Landowners took advantage of workers.

Explanation:

The system of sharecropping started to dominate the plantations in southern US during 1870s. Under this system the black families used to rent small lands of plots to work themselves and in return provided a portion of their harvest to the landowner. Some blacks managed to acquire enough money to start renting or buying lands by the end of 1860's. While others were forced by the poverty and debt in signing unfair sharecropping and lobar contracts. It ended the gang labour system which was in existence since slavery era.
