Tenant farmers were different from sharecroppers because they usually had their own tools and animals.
Tenant farmers paid rent to the landlord while sharecroppers received a portion (share) of the income and had to give the landlord a portion. Tenant farmers take total risk for the harvest while sharecroppers share the risk with the landowner.

Farmers owned the land they farmed, and could keep what they earned. Sharecroppers farmed land owned by someone else, and kept part of the profits from the crop.
As there were no slaves and no capital for investment, landowners entered into agreements with the sharecroppers. Most sharecroppers were former slaves who stayed on the same farms or plantations as before the war.
The share croppers are the freed slaves that "rented" a white farmers land in exchange for an agreement of a percentage of the sharecroppers yearly crops. They "share" "crops", thus the name sharecroppers. By the 1900's most of these sharecroppers had land of their own. The agreed percentages varied from 5% to 95% it all depended on the person or "landlord" so-to-speak and the richness of the soil therefore determining the crops that could be grown. I'm always trying to answer the newest questions, and hope this is a good enough answer that got here fast enough! Good luck on all future endeavors.
Most people were working the land as tenant farmers called Serfs. Most Medieval teenagers did farm chores from dawn till dusk. Families had lots of children as free labor, because they could not survive without all hands performing work.
