I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. Sharecropping offered formerly enslaved people an equal opportunity to participate in the Southern economy. It started inthe days of Reconstruction, when the Civil War came to an end, the white landowners decided to give their former slaves a chance at becoming apart of the south by giving them land to farm in exchange for a percentage of the profit.
