Why did many freedmen and poor whites become sharecroppers?

Answer - Some large planters had held onto their land and wealth through the war. Now they had land but no slaves to work it.

am i correct???????????

Right.

Poor people don't have the money to buy land or seed, so they must work for other farmers as sharecroppers.
