Answer 1

Once enslaved labor was abolished, Southern landowners replaced it with a system called **sharecropping**. This system allowed landowners to rent out land to farmers (often former enslaved people) who would then give a portion of their crop to the landowner as rent. This method created a cycle of debt and dependency for many sharecroppers.
