Answer 1

B. sharecropping

During the Reconstruction era, sharecropping became a common agricultural practice in Georgia and the Southern United States. This system allowed landowners to provide land, seed, and tools to farmers (often former slaves) in exchange for a share of the crops produced. It became a way for many families to sustain themselves after the Civil War, despite often leading to cycles of debt and poverty.
