Do you think sharecropping helped freed slaves, for

example those who could not leave the south for
better opportunity? or Do you think that
sharecropping was just a legal way for slavery to
still happen?

Answer:

In my opinion, sharcropping did not really help free slaves, and was a tiny bit better than slavery.

Step-by-step explanation:

Former slaves who were sharecroppers had abusive landlords, who charged them into debt. The only way to pay this debt was to work, and seldom did sharecroppers ever get out of debt.
