Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

After the Civil War, this system became widespread in the South. High interest rates and exploitative landlords often ensured that sharecroppers became indebted and, sometimes, unable to leave the land. Wells argues that money spent on liquor made this problem worse, especially for black farmers.
