What happened to share croppers if they worked the same land year after year?

Sharecroppers who worked the same land year after year often found themselves trapped in a cycle of debt and poverty. They typically received only a small portion of the crop yield, as the majority went to landowners to cover rent and supplies. This arrangement made it difficult for them to save money or improve their circumstances, leading to a dependence on the landowners and perpetuating a cycle of economic exploitation. As a result, many sharecroppers remained economically stagnant, unable to break free from their challenging situation.
