Original Note:
The OP is referring to sharecropping, a practice that continued for decades after the 13th Amendment passed in 1865. Sharecropping is recognized as continuing the cycle of slavery due to landowners maintaining debts against former slaves and descendants who worked their land. https://wfpc.sanford.duke.edu/north-carolina/durham-food-history/sharecropping-black-land-acquisition-and-white-supremacy-1868-1900/
