Share cropping and tenant farming.

Explanation:

Sharecropping and tenant farming were systems in which white landlords (often former plantation slaveowners) created contracts with former farm laborers to work their lands. Those who worked the fields shared a portion of the crop yield with the landlord as payment for renting the land.
