What is another word for sharecroppings?
Pronunciation: [ʃˈe͡əkɹɒpɪŋz] (IPA) 
Sharecroppings are a historical practice in which farmers would allow tenants to use their land in exchange for a percentage of the crops they produced. There are several synonyms for sharecroppings, including share-farming, tenant farming, and crop-sharing. These practices were common in the United States during the Reconstruction era and were often utilized by former slaves who lacked the resources to purchase or rent land. Today, sharecropping is generally considered an outdated and exploitative practice, as tenants often lacked bargaining power and were forced to work long, difficult hours for little compensation.
