Jim Crow laws were enacted in the South during the late 1800s to enforce racial segregation and maintain white supremacy following the Reconstruction era. These laws institutionalized discrimination against African Americans, restricting their rights in various aspects of life, including education, employment, and public facilities. By creating a legal framework for segregation, Jim Crow laws aimed to suppress the social, political, and economic progress of Black individuals and communities.
