The Legislature of Mississippi

it was the amendment that gave women the right to vote

Made the African Americans not have very many rights or none at all

The Jim Crow laws charged poll taxes to African Americans who wanted to vote so they made an amendment to make sure it was against the law.

Jim Crow laws were laws that were passed in the south after the civil war that separated white and black people in public and private facilities. Laws like this lost African Americans their voting rights in Southern states. It got its name from a minstrel-show character who sang a comic song ending in the words, "Jump, Jim Crow."

There were different responses in the African American community to the establishment of Jim crow segregation through legislation and custom in the states of the American south. Most people accepted the laws. Others began to rally against the laws.

Actually, The Jim Crow Laws are no longer exsisting. They were ruled unconstitutional during the Plessy vs. Fergison case. Therefore, we are no longer segregated.

for some 150 years or so. Some people have said that they last a century but like i said they lasted about a millennium. Theres no way they just lasted 10 years and then in the 10 years tore up the nation. Just no possible way! So that's the way I see it.

Jim Crow laws stated through racism targeting African Americans. The laws sought to keep blacks and whites from socializing in public places.

Jim Crow was not an actual person. It was the system in the southern United States that kept African Americans from being fully invested as American citizens. Jim Crow was a derisive term for a black man.

Jim Crow laws started in 1876 and last until 1965. These laws were racial segregation laws in the United States.

segregation of public facilities

Jim Crow Laws were laws established to promote racial segregation, especially after the federal government stopped enforcing the promotion of Civil Rights in the south in 1877 (after Reconstruction).

martin Luther king went to jail for doing the right thing in my opinion that was not being fair to him he was doing it for the people to get along he didn't like to see people figth with each other all the time he wanted everone to be friends with each other and get along

Jim Crow Laws were about making racial segregation a part of every aspect of black people's lives, throughout the south. The Supreme Court had decided in the Plessy vs. Ferguson case of 1896 that segregation was legal-- although the decision said that accommodations were supposed to be "separate but equal." Unfortunately, most cities in the south kept the "separate" part, but ignored the "equal." Black schools received minimal funds, for example-- students were forced to use old books, had poorly paid and poorly trained teachers, and learned in buildings that often had no heat or electricity. Many black schools didn't even have college-preparatory classes, because the myth was that blacks were inferior in intelligence and were only going to be maids or janitors. (Black students who wanted to attend college had to either come north or go to the few historically all-black colleges.)

In addition to restricting educational opportunities, Jim Crow laws restricted black people from using libraries (except on a certain day each week); shopping in certain stores; drinking from water fountains; eating in most restaurants; staying at most hotels; and waiting for a bus in a comfortable waiting room. Throughout the south, there were signs that reminded black people that those who were "colored" belonged in the older, less modern, dirtier, more uncomfortable places, while white people generally got the newer and better facilities.

The passage of Jim Crow laws in the South severely limited the effectiveness of Reconstruction efforts aimed at achieving racial equality and integrating African Americans into society. These laws enforced racial segregation and disenfranchised Black voters through measures like literacy tests and poll taxes, undermining their political power and civil rights. As a result, the social and economic advancement of African Americans was stifled, perpetuating systemic inequality and oppression for decades.

the reason of Jim Crow laws are to not let African Americans stay in the same areas or activities as whites
