Yesterday, we finished the PowerPoint notes about the response to the Fifteenth Amendment, which we focused on the Civil Rights Cases and the Jim Crow Laws, which allowed for segregation of public places and transportation.
Today, we talked about sharecropping. At first, the contracts for sharecroppers seemed to be fair, but upon further investigation, there was no way for sharecroppers to get out of it and pay off their debt, which made it very similar to slavery.
