After slavery was abolished in the south what type of cheap labor did plantations rely on?

Share Cropping System

Explanation:

After the Slavery was abolished the plantation relied on the sharecropping system. Although the method of sharecropping had been used across the world for a very long time, it was new to the southern states. In the rural south, the slave started to work on rented lands. Initially, after the war, most Blacks were left without land and had to work as laborers. To regulate the newly freed slave, southern states passed 'Black Codes' under which the former slaves were left with no other option other than signing the labor contract or getting arrested. By the 1870's sharecropping, the system was widespread across the south, the black families started to rent the plots of land in return they used to a portion of their crop.
