Question

1) How did the economic role of African Americans change between 1860 and 1880?

2) Would you consider "Sharecropping" to be another form of slavery? Why or why not?

Answer 1

1.African Americans went from having no rights and no land of their own to becoming a part of the farming industry and owning land for themselves

2.Yes because Sharecropping became widespread in the South as a response to economic upheaval caused by the end of slavery during and after Reconstruction. Sharecropping was a way for poor farmers, both white and black, to earn a living from land owned by someone else.
