The sharecropper has to work on the owners land and whatever crops they harvest has to be given to the owner in return for the use of the landowners items.

Answer:

They had to share the crops produced to the owner as rent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sharecropping was an economic system that was practiced in the Southern states of the U.S. once the Civil War ended and the Reconstruction era began. It was a form of agriculture in which a landowner gave a small plot of land to a family or an individual (the sharecropper) so they can work on it and, in return, the sharecropper had to share a big part of the crops produced with the owner, usually at the end of the year.
