The correct answer is:

The landowner would force the sharecropper to sign.

During the Reconstruction era, the sharecropping system arose a conflict between multiple white landowners trying to restore a labor force and freed black people attempting economic independence and autonomy. Many former slaves were forced to sign unfair sharecropping contracts.
