The statement which describes most African American sharecroppers of the 1800s is ''They used crop proceeds to pay rent to white landowners''

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Sharecropping was a very popular practice in the south and was a way with which the African american worked and grew crops on the lands which were owned by the Americans. This was one of the most famous way with which the farmers whether white or black used to earn their livelihoods in the south.

The farmers were very hard working and this resulted in the profits of the land owners which were mostly white and farmers mostly remained poor only and could barely earn to survive their living only.
