it brought poor people to the south, such as freed slaves,to work and sharecrop, with rich landowners, so they could earn money.
There is a bit of misunderstanding here concerning slavery. There were no "city slaves" and any African American in the south was a slave. To leave the plantation they had to have a pass. On the plantation there were different jobs that determined the type of slave they were.

Sharecropping is a system where the landlord lets the tenant use the land in exchange for a portion of the crops. It was frequently used in the post Civil War American south to keep former slaves on the plantation working for their previous owners under conditions little better than the prewar slavery.

Sharecropping began in the US Southern States after the plantation system was destroyed by the civil war. The white southern land owners hired the newly emancipated slaves to cultivate the land and grow crops in return for a place to live, usually a dilapidated shack and half of the the crop's earnings. Of course, it never worked out this way. Sharecropping was simply a quasar form of slavery.
