Answer 1

B. sharecropping

During Reconstruction, sharecropping became a much more common agricultural practice in Georgia and other southern states. This system allowed landowners to rent out land to laborers (often formerly enslaved people) who would then pay for the use of the land with a share of the crops they produced. This practice emerged as a way to continue agricultural production in the South following the Civil War.
