How did the system of sharecropping affect landowners and laborers in the South?

The system did not provide landowners with enough profits because laborers often took sizable cuts.
The system typically drove laborers off the farms they had worked when they were enslaved and left landowners without workers.
The system often trapped laborers in a cycle of debt and dependence while allowing landowners to profit from laborers’ hard work.
The system left landowners with mounting piles of debt because laborers had little to no incentives to work the fields.

Answer:

The system often trapped laborers in a cycle of debt and dependence while allowing landowners to profit from laborers’ hard work.

In the Reconstruction years, most blacks in rural areas of the South were left without land and compelled to function as workers on vast white-claimed ranches and plantations to earn a living. Many conflicted with previous slave bosses set on restoring a group work framework like the one that under bondage.

Because of an end goal to manage the work power and reassert racial domination in the after war south, previous Confederate state assembled before long passed restrictive laws denying blacks official correspondence or political rights.
