Which statement best describe the system of sharecropping

The correct answer is D. sharecropping gave white landowners the upper hand and economic dominance in southern society

Sharecropping offered formerly enslaved people an equal opportunity to participate in the Southern economy.

Back in the days of Reconstruction, former slave owners needed farm hands to grow crops in order to make money, so when the Civil War came to an end, the white landowners decided to give their former slaves a chance at becoming apart of the south by giving them land to farm in exchange for a percentage of the profit.
