A reason economic systems like sharecropping and the crop-lien system came to be was due to changes in the plantation system. What were they?
a - There was a lack of capital in plantations due to the war, and cotton prices were declining. b - Farmers found smaller farms easier to manage and there were fewer animals to feed.
c - There was a surplus of cash crops in the late 1800s, and the climate was not conducive to storing them.
d - A shift towards industry made farming less popular and tariffs were higher than expected.
e - Tariffs were too high in the South after the Civil War, and this stimulated the need for more farmers across the country.
