Contracts between landowners and sharecroppers typically outline the terms of the arrangement, including the division of labor, the sharing of crops, and any compensation for the sharecropper. These contracts can vary widely and are subject to negotiation, but it's important for both parties to clearly understand and agree to the terms to avoid disputes later on. Landowners often provide land and resources, while sharecroppers provide labor and expertise in cultivation.
Sharecropping contracts typically favored the landowners, often resulting in unfair terms for the sharecroppers. Landowners controlled the land, tools, and supplies, ultimately keeping a significant portion of the crops produced by sharecroppers. Sharecroppers were often left with very little profit or autonomy.
Landowners typically held more power in the contract negotiations, resulting in terms that were more favorable to them. Sharecroppers often faced unfair treatment, volatile economic conditions, and limited mobility due to debt obligations. Landowners' control over resources and land often kept sharecroppers in a cycle of poverty and dependency.
True. Landowners are generally expected to exercise reasonable care to protect individuals on their property from harm, depending on the circumstances and the relationship between the parties. This duty of care can vary depending on the legal classification of the visitor (e.g., invitee, licensee, trespasser).
Indentured servants in Jamestown were typically young, poor individuals who signed contracts to work for a specific period of time in exchange for passage to the New World. They were not slaves, as their servitude was limited and they were eventually freed after completing their contracts. However, they faced harsh conditions and limited rights during their time of service.
Indentured servants were typically poor individuals who exchanged their labor for passage to the Americas and other benefits in the 17th and 18th centuries. They were not slaves, but their contracts limited their freedom and often lasted for several years. Indentured servitude was a common practice in the early colonies of America and was a way for people to start a new life in exchange for their work.

It is 'probably true' that all these contracts heavily favored the landowner. He kept the books and could manipulate costs and profits at will. And of course: no profit, no profit share and payment for the sharecropper. Also, it is true that many landowners had a 'company store' that the sharecroppers were obliged to use. So, even if there was a profit share, most or all of it went to the payment of the debt run up at that store.
