The correct word for the blank space is: Sharecropper.

Explanation:

Sharecroppers were farmers who used to lease lands for the crop of different commodities. In exchange, the landowner used to receive a portion of the crop at the end of every year. This practice was mostly developed in the U.S. south by former slaves.  

During the Reconstruction era (1865-1877) white landowners entered in conflict with freed blacks who were fighting for their total independence after the Civil War (1861-1865).
