How did the system of share copping affect landowners and laborers in the south

The system often trapped laborers in a cycle of debt and dependence while allowing landowners to profit from laborers' hard work. Other than getting laborers to work their land, how did the sharecropping system benefit landowners? The landowner would receive two thirds of the crops produced on the land.

Not sure if it’s within 12 months, but you could talk about the spreading of alt-right hate speech and whether that is covered by the right of freedom of speech? or, cover how during the midterm elections in some states many native american populations were declined to vote because they didn’t have the proper id, despite being citizens? also, the death of that journalist last month, who spoke freely and reported about the saudi government and how corrupted it is and was killed because of that (lack of free press/speech). just some ideas for this prompt, i hope at least one of them : )
