What were the social characteristics of sharecropping in Louisiana during Reconstruction? Sharecroppers had little money and a social status beneath the poor, white landowners on whose land they lived.

Sharecropping led to poor whites and African Americans gaining equal social status.

Sharecropping regularly allowed African Americans to make huge profits and eventually buy out the landowners.

Sharecroppers made little money, but the land they owned gave them higher social status.
