Jim Crow later became a term synonymous with the system of racial segregation and discrimination that was enforced in the United States, particularly in the Southern states, from the late 19th century until the mid-20th century. This system institutionalized racial inequality through laws and social customs that upheld white supremacy. The term "Jim Crow" itself originated from a minstrel show character, symbolizing the derogatory and racist attitudes toward African Americans. The Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s ultimately aimed to dismantle these oppressive laws and practices.
