Jim Crow laws were created to enforce racial segregation and disenfranchise African Americans in the post-Reconstruction South. After the Civil War, there was a push to maintain white supremacy and control over the African American population. These laws institutionalized discrimination in various aspects of life, including education, transportation, and public facilities, aiming to reinforce social and economic inequalities. Ultimately, Jim Crow laws reflected and perpetuated the prevailing racist attitudes of the time.

What are the similarities and differences between the old and new Jim cow?
The old Jim Crow laws, enacted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, enforced racial segregation and disenfranchised African Americans through legal means, such as literacy tests and poll taxes. The new Jim Crow, as described by Michelle Alexander, refers to modern systemic racism that perpetuates racial discrimination primarily through mass incarceration and the criminal justice system. Both systems aim to maintain racial hierarchy and inequality, but while the old Jim Crow was explicitly codified in law, the new Jim Crow operates through societal structures and policies that disproportionately affect people of color, often without overtly racist legislation.

After the slaves were emancipated, the United States ratified the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution, outlawing slavery, attempting to create equal protection for African-Americans, and granting African-American men the right to vote. Many white people opposed equality for former slaves, and felt threatened by the new social order. Jim Crow laws were a desperate attempt to keep African-Americans "in their place," because many whites considered them inferior.
What does Michelle Alexander mean by the New Jim Crow?
In "The New Jim Crow," Michelle Alexander argues that the mass incarceration of African Americans in the United States functions as a contemporary system of racial control, akin to the Jim Crow laws that enforced racial segregation and discrimination. She contends that the war on drugs and the criminal justice system disproportionately target Black communities, leading to systemic disenfranchisement and social stigmatization. Alexander emphasizes that this cycle of incarceration perpetuates racial inequality and undermines civil rights, effectively creating a racial caste system in modern society.
