Answer 2

Answer:

C)Sharecropping varied from state to state, but it was common in many places.

Explanation:

Sharecropping was used mostly in the 1800´s where a landowner would lent his land and money to the field workers to buy seeds and other things necessary for the growing of the crops and then when it was harvest time they´d come to an agreement on how much each of them received. It was the system that replaced slavery, and the documents say that mostly in the southern states was largely used and that very few workers managed to get out of debt by working with their former owners in this way.
