What is a Jim crow laws?

Jump Jim Crow is a song and dance from 1828 that was done in blackface by white comedian Thomas Dartmouth (T.D.) "Daddy" Rice. The number was supposedly inspired by the song and dance of a crippled African slave called Jim Cuff or Jim Crowvariously claimed to have resided in St. Louis, Cincinnati or Pittsburgh. The song became a huge 19th century hit, and Rice performed all over the country as Daddy Jim Crow.As a result of Rice's fame, 'Jim Crow' had become a pejorative term for 'African-American' by 1838 and from this, the laws of racial segregation became known as Jim Crow laws.

Did anyone ever break the Jim crow laws?

Yes, many people and civil rights activists fought against and challenged Jim Crow laws in various ways. Examples include Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the sit-ins led by African American college students, and the landmark Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education, which led to the desegregation of public schools. These efforts played a significant role in ending institutionalized segregation in the United States.

Has forced sterilization ever been legal in the US?

There were states (about 33) with laws that called for forced sterilization. The 3-fold purpose (excuses) of these laws was: eugenics (genetic flaws), therapeutics(vitality), and punitive (punishing criminals).A good term for these laws would be quasi-legal. These were state laws passed using due process by the states, but it is extremely doubtful that they would ever have passed constitutional muster.Most states allowed these laws to quietly pass into oblivion without challenge, but legal challenges occurred in some states and were successful, leading to the demise of the practice in all states. Finally, it must be said, that there are some states where these laws still exist, though the use of them has ended, and no official in their right mind would invoke them.The practice is now illegal.

Would you ever find a person in a crow's nest?

Yes, the term "crow's nest" is the name given the to platform at the top of the main mast of a ship. In the early designs it was simply a barrel or a basket lashed to the tallest mast. Later it became a specially designed platform with protective railing. Sailors (people) climb to the crow's nest to keep a lookout while at sea because at that point of elevation one can see further.
