1. a farmer who gives part of his or her crop as rent to the owner of the land
   CultureSharecroppers were common in the southern US. The share of the crops was usually 50% to pay for the sharecropper's house, equipment, seeds and land. The system, which was widely regarded as unfair, was common after the civil war, and many sharecroppers were poor people who had been slaves.
