Were laws that allowed racial segregation in public places?
The laws that allowed segregation were called Jim Crow Laws. They were justified under the doctrine of 'separate but equal.'
In what ways did the southern states disenfranchise the blacks?
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.
What was the purpose of the 35th amendment?
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.
Why did the southern governments believe they were justified in passing black codes?
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.
What are laws created by the government called?
Laws.
