The Jim Crow laws limited the new freedoms of African Americans by restricting civil liberties and limiting employment opportunities for African Americans. ‌

Jim Crow laws were an umbrella term for a series of laws designed to segregate the race and limit the rights of African Americans. These laws, which were in force from 1865, and in particular from 1876 to 1965, restricted the freedoms of African Americans, including but not limited to employment, education, housing, and more. Specifically, Jim Crow laws limited the new freedoms of African Americans by:

‌ limiting employment opportunities ‌ : Jim Crow laws relegated African American workers to low-skilled roles and limited their opportunities to work in skilled industries, thereby impeding their economic and social advancement.

‌ Affecting educational opportunities ‌ : While the specific educational restrictions may vary by time period and region, Jim Crow laws undoubtedly affected the educational opportunities of African Americans, further exacerbating their economic and social disadvantage.

‌ housing discrimination ‌ : Jim Crow laws also led to racial bias and discrimination in the housing market, affecting the living conditions and quality of life of African Americans.

These laws not only directly restricted the freedom and opportunities of African Americans, but also had a profound social and psychological impact. In the late 1960s, for example, the gender and sexual liberation movement began to break away from the workers' movement and independently make its own claims in an attempt to break these restrictions and achieve greater sexual freedom and gender equality. However, these movements often struggle to fully achieve their goals in the face of capitalism's profit-driven and unequal social structures ‌
