The laws that allowed segregation were called Jim Crow Laws. They were justified under the doctrine of 'separate but equal.'
Southern states disenfranchised Blacks through the use of Jim Crow laws. They weren't allowed to use the same public facilities as Whites and they didn't have the same rights.
The purpose was to give former slaves the right to vote. But this did not include black women. The goverment created this amendment because people living in the South passed laws called the Jim Crow Laws. They discriminated against all blacks. The difference between these laws and Black Codes was that Jim Crow Laws involved blacks and whites and was after the Civil War, but Black codes were before the war and only involved blacks. An example of a Jim Crow Law would be one bathroom for black men and one for white men.
As the Reconstruction era passed, Southern whites became back in control of the old South. They passed all types of "laws" designed to prevent Blacks form voting. This enabled whites to regain the political power they lost right after the US Civil War.

In the United States, segregation was enforced through various laws, including Jim Crow laws in the southern states that mandated separate facilities for blacks and whites in public spaces, such as schools, restaurants, and buses. These laws existed from the late 19th century until the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s led to their gradual dismantling.
