1. sharecropper

   Sharecropping is a legal arrangement with regard to agricultural land in which a landowner allows a tenant to use the land in return for a share of the crops produced on that land. Sharecropping has a long history and there are a wide range of different situations and types of agreements that have used a form of the system. Some are governed by tradition, and others by law. The Italian mezzadria, the French métayage, the Catalan masoveria, the Castilian mediero, the Slavic połowcy and izdolshchina, and the Islamic system of muzara‘a (المزارعة), are examples of legal systems that have supported sharecropping.

1. sharecropper

   A sharecropper is a farmer, especially in the past in the southern US, who rents a piece of land to grow crops. In return for allowing them to use the land, the owner usually takes a share of the crops as rent. This system often leads to tenants being economically dependent on and exploited by the landowners due to unfair practices and debts.

1. Joseph Bell:

   This man had the courage to wear the uniform of this country and spent five years on the Pacific and North African fronts, these men put their lives on the line and to come back here and be treated as less than a man, as a servant -- he was a sharecropper -- it's a complete disregard for people.
