African American Sharecropper Family Picking Cotton

The role of African Americans in the agricultural history of the United States includes their work when they were enslaved on cotton and tobacco plantations in the Antebellum South. After the Emancipation Proclamation, most stayed in farming as very poor sharecroppers who rarely owned land.
