Sharecropping is when a former slave stay on his owner's plantation, living in their own house. The disadvantage is that they have to live under the slave owner's rules and regulations. They had a lot of things to under go such as growing and harvesting crops. If the crops died they had to pay the owner money for wasting the crops. To harvest those crops they had to pay money to get the tools for them. They had a choice to take out loans which mostly everybody did, but even with that they had to pay that off. They did not get any money from any where so with all the things they had to pay most of them found themselves in debt. Not knowing how to get out of that they had to be evicted. I chose this picture because it shows how the African Americans would be after they were kicked out of sharecropping. The viewer should understand that sharecropping was really hard to do and it came with out a lot of consequences and struggle.
