After the Civil War, many white southerners were not happy with the end of slavery or the fact that they would have to work "equally" with blacks whom they thought of as inferior. This started the "separate but equal" laws or the Jim Crow laws. These laws authorized legal punishment for interacting with the opposite race. Many people helped put an end to racial segregation in the United States including, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X.
