Question

52:04 In ideal situations, sharecropping gave African Americans in the South the opportunity to set their own wages. set their own financial goals. break the cycle of debt. break the cycle of dependence.

Answer 1

The correct answer is "Set their own financial goals".

Sharecropping refers to a model of agricultural business in which owners of land can lease their property to workers and then share the earnings gained from the exploitation of said land.

During the late 1800s sharecropping became predominant in the South, where African American families would work mostly in cotton plantations. This model gave to black population the opportunity of having more command over their financial aspirations even though they were still working in dependency.
