Class Recap 2/7, 2/11

On Thursday, our class focused on sharecropping. Sharecropping is just a way for white landowners to keep control over African Americans by lending them an area of land to grow crops and sell, but they charge such a large amount for rent that the family goes into a debt that is impossible to get out of. After debating the pros and cons of sharecropping and taking notes on the topic, we worked on our RSA projects for the remainder of the class. Monday, we did not have any school because of a snow day.
