Jim Crow laws were primarily enforced in Southern states following the end of Reconstruction in the late 19th century. Key states included Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Louisiana, and South Carolina, among others. Major cities like Atlanta, New Orleans, and Birmingham were notable for their implementation of these discriminatory laws, which enforced racial segregation and disenfranchised African Americans. These laws remained in effect until the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s led to significant legal changes.

What were jim crow laws?

Jim Crow laws, in U.S. history, statutes enacted by Southern states and municipalities, beginning in the 1880s, that legalized segregation between blacks and whites. The name is believed to be derived from a character in a popular minstrel song. From the 1880s into the 1960s, a majority of American states enforced segregation through "Jim Crow" laws (so called after a black character in minstrel shows). From Delaware to California, and from North Dakota to Texas, many states (and cities, too) could impose legal punishments on people for consorting with members of another race. The most common types of laws forbade intermarriage and ordered business owners and public institutions to keep their black and white clientele separated
