Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the given questions.

After the end of the American Civil War and the abolition of slavery, many African Americans and some whites in the rural South made a living by renting small plots of land from large landowners who were usually white and pledging a percentage of their crops to the landowners at harvest-a system known as sharecropping. Landowners provided sharecroppers with land, seeds, tools, clothing, and food. Charges for the supplies were deducted from the sharecroppers' portion of the harvest, leaving them with substantial debt to landowners in bad years. Sharecroppers would become caught in continual debt, especially during weak harvests or periods of low prices, such as when cotton prices fell in the 1880s and '90s. Once in debt, sharecroppers were forbidden by law to leave the landowner's property until their debt was paid, effectively putting them in a state of slavery to the landowner. Between 1880 and 1930 the proportion of Southern farms operated by the tenants increased from 36 to 55 per cent.

Contracts between landowners and sharecroppers were typically harsh and restrictive. Many contracts forbade sharecroppers from saving cotton seeds from their harvest, forcing them to increase their debt by obtaining seeds from the landowner. Landowners also charged extremely high-interest rates. Landowners often weighed harvested crops themselves, which presented further opportunities to deceive or extort sharecroppers. Immediately following the Civil War, financially distressed landowners could rent land to African American sharecroppers, secure their debt and labour, and then drive them away just before it was time to harvest the crops. Southern courts were unlikely to rule in favour of black sharecroppers against white landowners.

That system of debt slavery continued in the South until after World War II when it gradually died out as the mechanization of farming became widespread. So too, African Americans left the system as they moved to better-paying industrial jobs in the North during the Great Migration.

156

What was the main reason for the dismantlement of debt-slavery in South of America?

  1. ((a))

    The African American sharecroppers started a revolution against the White landholders.

  2. ((b))

    The sharecroppers started a co-operation to help fellow debtors out of the cycle and hence gradually overcame the enslavement.

  3. ((c))

    The African Americans moved out to North of America where they had better paying industrial jobs.

  4. ((d))

    The courts started ruling in the favor of African-American sharecroppers due to pressure groups.

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

The African American sharecroppers started a revolution against the White landholders.

157

What happened once the sharecroppers were caught in a debt trap?

  1. ((a))

    The landowners took their kids as bonds or collateral until the debt was paid.

  2. ((b))

    The sharecroppers has to work for free until the debt was paid.

  3. ((c))

    They usually ran away to escape the wrath of the white landowners.

  4. ((d))

    They were not allowed to leave the landowner's property until the debt was paid.

Answer: ((a))

The landowners took their kids as bonds or collateral until the debt was paid.

निम्नलिखित गद्यांश को ध्यानपूर्वक पढ़िए और दिए गए प्रश्नों के उत्तर दीजिए।

यह तो सभी जानते हैं कि आज आम आदमी का जीना दिन-प्रतिदिन कठिन होता जा रहा है। पहले कहा जाता था कि दाल रोटी खा कर जी रहे हैं, पर आज घर परिवार के लिए दाल रोटी जुटा पाना कठिन होता जा रहा है। अमीर, गरीब, मध्यवर्ग सभी की हालत तंग और खस्ता होती जा रही है। लोग एक दूसरे से कटने लगे हैं। कहीं खिलाना-पिलाना ना पड़ जाए, यह सोचकर आज आदमी किसी अति प्रिय को सामने देख कर भी अनदेखा कर देता है। रिश्वत, भ्रष्टाचार, काला बाजारी लगातार बढ़ रही है। यह सब व्यक्ति के अत्यधिक स्वार्थी होने के कारण तो है ही, इसके लिए महंगाई भी बहुत जिम्मेदार है। स्वार्थ पूर्ति के लिए दूसरों का हक मारना, काला बाजार जमाखोरी की आदत, जनसंख्या के अनुपात से उत्पादन कम होना, युद्ध और अराजकता के भय से मुक्त होने के लिए शस्त्रों पर खर्च बढ़ जाना, कृषि योग्य भूमि पर बस्तियां बस जाना, प्रकृति से नाता टूट जाना आदि महंगाई बढ़ने के कई कारण हैं। निरंतर बढ़ती हुई महंगाई के भूत से छुटकारा पाने के लिए यह अत्यावश्यक है कि जनसंख्या और उत्पादन में संतुलन बनाए रखा जाए, जनसंख्या वृद्धि पर काबू रखा जाए, आवश्यक वस्तु की पूर्ति कर पाने वाली योजनाएं बनाई जाएं, जमाखोरी, चोर-बाजारी को कठोरता से रोका जाए और आपसी सहयोग पूर्ण-प्रणाली विकसित किए जाएं। प्रकृति के साथ संबंध जोड़ और कृषि कार्य के योग्य भूमि की रक्षा करके ही महंगाई का निराकरण संभव हो सकता है।
