Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Tenant farmers usually received between two-thirds and three-quarters of the harvest, minus deductions for living expenses. Sharecroppers, however, received only half the crop, from which landowners deducted rent and any credit (with interest) for supplies provided for the family’s subsistence.
