Why were blacks and whites seperated?

Answer 1

Blacks and whites were segregated because in the years before segregation, slavery had been going on for centuries and centuries. Later on government/congress decided that they would remove slavery, and instead make a process which separated colored people from white people called segregation. These laws were called Jim Crow Laws. So in conclusion, blacks and whites were segregated because whites still wanted a way to treat colored people differently than they would to others without fully taking away slavery, and made a process called segregation.
