Answer 1

Balls

Step-by-step explanation:

Q1: Sharecropping was unfair to African Americans since it took most of their products and did not let them build up enough money to move off and grow economically, essentially keeping them living to the day.

Q2: African Americans that had been freed from slavery usually never had dealt with economy before and many didn't even know how to read, apart from many laws lowering their rights. All this made it so landowners could easily get more crops from them without any law repercussions.

Q3: Sharecropping was essentially another form of enslavement since the African Americans had nowhere else to go, they were still being discriminated on the daily, and lived in extremely poor and often unsanitary conditions.
