What’s is sharecropping? Why did it start happening in the south?

The absence of cash or an independent credit system led to the creation of sharecropping. ... Though both groups were at the bottom of the social ladder, sharecroppers began to organize for better working rights, and the integrated Southern Tenant Farmers Union began to gain power in the 1930s.

sharecropping is a system where the landlord/planter allows a tenant to use the land in exchange for a share of the crop. it started happening in the south because It was a way to take advantage of the South's strong infrastructure. the federal government required Southerners to use this system. The Southern economy and farms had been destroyed during the Civil War.
