They would grow and exchange a portion of their crops with their landlords (usually white) for farming land. Following the armistice, international demand for grains diminished as European farmers could now go back to their farms and grow produce. Due to this, around 750,000 black Americans were let go by their landlords and forced to move to northern cities where they could only attain low paying jobs.
