Sharecropping, was a way of using the work of African American tenants, that began previous of the Civil War, but exploded in the Reconstruction era. Sharecropping was basically that the landowner provided the tenant with land to work, but kept the property and demanded a "share" of the "crop". This was one of the causes of the Great Migration in the first decades of the XX century of African Americans into the urban centers of the North and West as the agricultural crisis before and after World War I devastated the American countryside and made living off the land impossible for many tenants.
