Which effects resulted from the sharecropping system?Check all that apply.

Answer
A
Many farmers barely had enough food to feed their families.
B
Sharecroppers were in constant debt and remained in poverty.
C
Land and resources remained in the hands of white landowners.
D
Most sharecroppers were able to make enough money to buy land.
E
Farmers had a large store of crops because they shared their harvests.

Explanation

Sharecroppers often had to give a large share of their crops to landowners and buy supplies on credit, leaving little food or money for their families. Debt could carry over from year to year, keeping many sharecroppers in poverty. Because land and resources remained controlled by white landowners, sharecroppers generally could not save enough to buy land; sharing a harvest did not create a large crop surplus.
