Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sharecropping was a form of farming adopted post-Civil War in the United States. In this form of farming, the landowners would give their lands to black families to work and instead of giving them wages, the families were required to pay or share a portion of the crops cultivated by them to their landowners by the end of the year.

The sharecropping agreement, therefore, is an agreement that favored the employers or the landowners instead of the sharecroppers.

Therefore, the given statement is false.
