How specifically was the Jim Crow system created?

Answer 1

The Jim Crow system had no definite date of creation. The only definite date that can be established is 1919 in Philadelphia. On that date black people in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, pulled out of The Methodist Church and created The African Methodist Episcopal Church. They also separated from the white areas in a number of other areas. In other areas free blacks started their own institutions. There was no de jure segregation. In some places, free blacks had to wear ribbons with the word free on it. Thus, at the start of the Civil War, while segregation did not exist except for slaves, Blacks had removed themselves from the larger society in many areas.

After the Civil War, former Confederate Solders could not vote. Newly freed slaves could vote. A low level civil war broke out between former confederate solders and newly freed black slaves. The Reconstruction also housed Northern Solders in southern houses. Those solders were thugs.

When the former solders regained the vote, and the Federal Government removed its thugs, the new white governments took their anger out on the former slaves and other blacks in the south. So it was at the end of Grant's Administration.

It was created by state legislatures creating black laws, increasing the separation between whites and blacks. Some local communities ran black people out of town at dusk. It was not the same all over. Places, such as Macon, Georgia, where blacks and whites had been interspersed before the Civil War, remained that way.
