Another aspect is found family for sharecropping or gathering of groups together to take a dwelling shelter, and begin the process of sharecropping, and when you’ve lost your family and you are have plans to look really seeking out, it takes people to work the land until another process that came into being, of course, was the accumulated family or found family, which is also a part of the story

I did read Before We Were Yours, now after reading lost friends, this fact is magnified: God heals. I think HE'S shining through you and this story to show HIS love working in the aftermath of the Civil War. Through lost friends activity in that newspaper, hopefully many healed from atrocities. I pray many of us may heal from atrocities in each of Our Lives as we watch God's hand taking away the pain of others

For the young people that may say this because they’re interested in reading this book sharecropping was an advent of slavery where do all the people that were enslaved in the south go with some left some became money or earners, so moved to the north some looked for a way to acquire property. Most remained in the south, at least for a time, a slave, cabin, or a cabin on a plantation could be acquired and you could share cropping area of the masters, former masters, or if you move to another plantation an area that you could share a crop part of the proceeds of the crop would be yours part would be the masters you know it wasn’t equitable enough. other part of the lack of equitability was that you had to have clothes you had to have food you don’t have to acquire these for yourself, thereby usually at a store or provisions, by the master could be handed out to you at a cost, which was taken off your portion of what the harvest would be whatever you were sharecropping cotton foodstuffs, tobacco, whatever so you’re already in debt to a degree for what you are and come, Bentley looking for as you’re working in at the end of that period of time. whatever you owe to the so-called store, or to the master would be taken away from your earnings, and so it was a poverty stricken. Except you were free to go and come as you desire. Another thing is, if you were in debt, you couldn’t leave you had to find a way to pay another system that affected Caucasians where is the mining system and parts of the United States of America where the company store the coal miners so to speak, or indebted to the company store for their provisions as they’re working this is another part of it a system that was promulgated against poor Caucasoid’s poor Caucasians in this country, and although this occurred, there is nothing like what occurred as to slavery for Black people, or the aftermath such a sharecropping

What’s interesting about lunches because I was raising children in the 80s in the public school system in California and we had a program that had to do with income and free breakfast and free lunch so all you had to do was fill out a form and economic form about your income and you could be granted free lunch and free breakfast as well as a reduced priced lunch or breakfast and that was in the 80s now everybody doesn’t want to take or participate in such a thing they feel there’s a stigma attached to it but if your child is not having everything that they need as far as nutrition is concerned, that we know that that’s a matter of prideful Not putting first things first about your child nutrition that’s interesting I had assumed in those days if that was a country wide program that was available to all schools in the United States of America but perhaps I don’t have all the correct
