There are countless cases of former slaves sharecropping the former masters land to pay the taxes and to stop tax foreclosure. It was a group effort.

And, it was not just former slaves that were sharecropping. There just as many, if not more whites sharecropping during those days. The Yankees destroyed everything necessary to sustain life and sharecropping was common.
