Answer:

sharecropping and tenant farming took the place of slavery and the plantation system in the South.

Step-by-step explanation:

White landlords (typically former plantation slaveowners) engaged into contracts with destitute agricultural laborers to work their estates under sharecropping and tenant farming systems.
