The negative effect of sharecropping and tenant farming was that it was tipped heavily in favor of the landowner. African American families would rent small shares of land to work themselves with a portion of the crop to be given to the landowner at the end of the harvest. However, the sharecroppers ended up owing more to the landowner, for the use of tools and for supplies, than they were able to repay. A sharecropper could move up to tenant farming if he could accumulate his own equipment and money. He could even become a cash tenant if he could rasie enough crops to sell. Unfortunately, due to crop failure, laziness, low crop prices, ill health, exhaustion of the soil, poor management, and high interest rates, many tenant farmers were unable to maintain their staus as cash or share tenants and ended up losing their farms.

Both tenant farming and sharecropping were agricultural systems prevalent in the southern United States after the Civil War. Both involved renting land to work and paying a portion of the harvest as a form of payment to the landowner. However, in sharecropping, the tenant typically received a share of the harvest, while in tenant farming, the tenant paid rent in cash or crops.
