Question 5 • (AG Q4) American History 8: 25-26 (AHostetler)

How did the life of sharecroppers affect their children?

Answer
A
Children went to school because the farms were small, with little work.
B
Children had to help work on the farm, so they rarely went to school.
C
Children made extra money from working on the farm.
D
Children left home when they became adults because the land wasn’t theirs.

Explanation

Sharecropping families often had to work hard to grow crops and pay the landowner a share of what they produced. Children helped with farm chores and fieldwork, leaving them little time or opportunity to attend school regularly. Therefore, the best answer is B: children had to help work on the farm, so they rarely went to school.
