    rops. Crop-lien system resulted in many losing land, maj of ppl in S became tenant farmers

    ii)“Sharecropping” system where farmers promised large share of crop for land, tools- little money left over after payments. Subsistence farming gave way to only growth of cash crops- increased poverty. Coupled w/ “fence laws” (prevented ppl from raising livestock) led to decline in living self-sufficiently

    iii)Backcountry + blacks affected led populist protests to follow in 1880s/1890s

    d)African Americans
