Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -By the early 1870s, the system known as sharecropping had come to dominate agriculture across the South. Under this system, families would rent small plots of land, or shares, to work themselves; in return, they would give a portion of their crop to the landowner at the end of the harvest season.
Detailed explanation-2: -With a sharecropping contract, poor farmers were granted access to farm small plots of land. Instead of paying rent in cash, they were required to give a portion of the crop yield, called shares, back to the landowner.
Detailed explanation-3: -The landlords compelled the sharecroppers to plant 15% of their land with indigo and also surrender their entire harvest as rent.
