The correct answer is C) they fled to the north and west to leave their debts behind.

The main way that African-American farmers got out of the debt that they had incurred as sharecroppers was that they fled to the north and west to leave their debts behind.

Black farmers were in big debt and had no money to repay the debt. That is why many farmers decided to travel to the northern states in order to get some jobs in the factories. Manufacturing plants were growing and offered low pay jobs under unhealthy conditions, but that represented a good option for many African American farmers to gey some money, feed their families and tried to repay some of their large debts.
