Question

what was the major cause of problems with the sharecropping system? (1 point) farmers continual debt lack of fertile land insufficient livestock fierce competition among farmers

Explanation:

In the sharecropping system, farmers often had to rent land, tools, and supplies from landowners on credit. After harvesting, they had to pay back these costs (plus interest) from their share of the crop. This led to a cycle of continual debt, as they often couldn't fully repay and had to borrow again for the next season. Lack of fertile land, insufficient livestock, and fierce competition weren't the major causes of problems in this system.

Answer:

A. farmers' continual debt
