What are the issues sharecroppers faced?

Sharecroppers faced numerous challenges, including exploitative contracts that often left them in a cycle of debt and poverty. They were frequently subjected to high interest rates on loans for seeds and supplies, which made it difficult to break even. Additionally, they had limited access to education and resources, and were often at the mercy of landowners who controlled the land and prices. This systemic inequality perpetuated their economic struggles and restricted their opportunities for upward mobility.
