Question

  1. what was repealed by andrew johnson and led to many formerly enslaved people working as sharecroppers? the enforcement acts the reconstruction act of 1867 the civil rights act of 1866 field order no. 15

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Field Order No. 15, issued by General William T. Sherman during the Civil War, set aside land for formerly enslaved people. When Andrew Johnson became president, he revoked this order. This revocation meant that the land was returned to white landowners. As a result, many formerly enslaved people, who had hoped to own land, were left with few options. Sharecropping emerged as a common economic arrangement. In sharecropping, formerly enslaved people (and poor white farmers) would work the landowners' land. In return, they would receive a share of the crop. This system kept many in a cycle of debt and dependence, similar in some ways to the conditions of slavery.
