13th Amendment abolished slavery

South resisted this amendment via sharecropping
Freedmen worked on farms and exchanged labor for using
land and housing
Half of their crops were typically given to the land owner
Sharecroppers had to borrow $ to get started
Local stores gave loans at high rates (crop lien system)
If cotton prices fell (and they did in the 1870s), perpetual
debt was common for most sharecroppers -> peonage
A majority of blacks in the South were sharecroppers by
1890
