How did the sharecropping system of labor assist Southern whites in reasserting control over black labor? It was an unequal relationship and sharecroppers would have to try and not have to borrow anything for food and supplies, which was found to be extremely difficult.

It was a cover that Southern states used to reinstate slavery.

It did not reassert control over black labor, it was a progressive system that made former slaves economically independent.

It restricted the rights of freedmen so that they would not be able to vote on legislation pertaining to their rights.
