Segregation in the South grew primarily due to systemic racism and the enforcement of Jim Crow laws after the Civil War, which aimed to maintain white supremacy and control over African Americans. Economic factors, such as the reliance on a labor force of enslaved and later marginalized African Americans, further entrenched segregationist practices. Additionally, social attitudes and cultural norms reinforced the idea that racial separation was necessary for social order, leading to widespread acceptance of discriminatory policies and practices.
