The answer would be A. The land was divided into smaller plots with housing for sharecroppers because after the war slavery was outlawed so former slaves only knew how to farm and in order to get income they went back to plantations as sharecroppers.

Sharecroppers were people who rented out housing and tools with a share of their crops in order to live.
