Answer:

Sharecropping and tenant farming came into popularity in the South after the Civil War and the emancipation of black Americans. Tenant farmers would rent a small, often shack-like building on a farm owner’s land and agree to plant and work the land. Sharecroppers and land tenants gave the landowner a share of the crop or a share of the profit once the crop was sold. Farm tenants often planted with materials provided by the landowner and paid rent to live on the land. Usually, the land tenant would give the landowner a crop share plus more to make up for the loan of resources.

Answer: Tenant farming is an agricultural production system in which landowners contribute their land and often a measure of operating capital and management, while tenant farmers contribute their labor along with at times varying amounts of capital and management.
