What usually happened to share croppers who did not make enough money?

Sharecroppers who did not make enough money often found themselves trapped in a cycle of debt and poverty. They relied on loans from landowners to cover living expenses and farming supplies, which could lead to high interest rates and further financial strain. As a result, many sharecroppers were unable to pay off their debts and had to continue working the land under increasingly exploitative conditions. This system perpetuated their economic hardship and limited their opportunities for upward mobility.
