Was preferred by African-Americans to gang labor (because they were lees subject to supervision).

Explanation:

Sharecroppins is a type of farming where the owner rents small plots to families in return of a portion of their crop. This practice was mainly used in Reconstruction era, when slavery was abolished. That's why this type of farming was practiced, mainly, by slaves that wanted their 'freedom' with no supervision of a 'foreman'.
