Landowners in the Chesapeake colonies turned to chattel slavery for labor because they needed a reliable and cheap workforce to cultivate labor-intensive cash crops like tobacco. Chattel slavery provided a consistent labor force that could be easily controlled and exploited for maximum profit.

Sharecroppers are tenants who work on land owned by someone else and pay a portion of their crops as rent. Landowners, on the other hand, own the land and may lease or rent it out to sharecroppers or other tenants. Landowners have legal ownership and control over the land, while sharecroppers work the land in exchange for a share of the crops they produce.
