DETAILS: Original stereoviewphotograph of a sharecropper family byphotographer O. Pierre Havens of SavannahGeorgia. Circa 1870.Measures 7" x 3.5 inches. Please see images for further details.
BACKGROUND: Black sharecroppers in the post-Civil War South were mostly formerly enslaved people trapped in a cycle of poverty and debt, often termed "slavery by another name."
