What is the purpose of Jim Crow laws?

Jim Crow laws were designed to prevent blacks from voting in the
old south, but voting laws were only one type of Jim Crow Law. In
general, Jim Crow Laws mandated the "Separate But Equal" status of
blacks in the south. The laws ensured segregation without having to
make segregation itself a law, because legally-sanctioned
segregation was not permitted.
