1 answer
a. farmers' continual debt was the major cause of problems with the sharecropping system. Sharecroppers were often unable to pay off their debts to landowners because of the high interest rates and the limited opportunities to sell their crops at fair prices. As a result, they would become trapped in a cycle of debt and poverty, making it difficult to improve their economic status.
