Into the 1930's.

Explanation: Tenant farming and sharecropping became a way of life in the Cotton Belt.

By 1930, there were more than 1.8 million tenant farmers in the South. By 1935, nearly half of white farmers and 77% of African American farmers in the country did not own land.

The correct answer is "into the 1930s". Alabama is one of the states of the South where sharecropping and tenant farming was more prominent in the past. These practices were common in that State from the late-nineteenth century through the onset of World War II, which started in 1939. After World War II started, sharecropping and tenant farming was notoriously reduced in the South.
