end of slavery
slavery was abolished after the civil war in 1865
choose the correct answer
after sharecropping was created, it was common for formerly enslaved people to work on ______.

• the same plantations where they had previously been enslaved
• ships in different ports around the eastern coast
• large machines in northern factories and shops

Explanation:

After the end of slavery, sharecropping became a common system. Formerly enslaved people often continued to work on the same plantations where they had been enslaved because sharecropping relied on the existing plantation infrastructure and land, and many had no other resources or opportunities to move elsewhere. Working on ships or in Northern factories was less common for most sharecroppers, as sharecropping was tied to agricultural land in the South.

Answer:

the same plantations where they had previously been enslaved
