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

all of the above

Poll taxes and Literacy laws were two of the primary ways that some states kept minorities from voting. Poll taxes were set to a point that would not be difficult for White people to afford, but Very difficult for Minorities. White voters would be given something simple to read, and minorities would be given bits of Shakespeare.

Many states removed them voluntarily as they saw the way the mood of the country was moving, and as State Legislatures became more enlightened. However, for those states that did not, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ended the practices everywhere for good.

The Twenty Fourth Amendment, ratified in 1964, outlawed poll taxes. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was the law that outlawed literacy tests.

Jim Crow was not a real person it was a made up person just for racists. so the Jim crow laws did not affect "his or her " life.

Jim Crow Laws

The main idea behind the Jim Crow laws was "separate but equal". It was a legal way to continue the discrimination against the African Americans in the southern states. You can say that the affect of these laws developed two different societies in the US. The African Americans were deprived from the same conditions and other governmental services the white people received. It turned out that the races were separated in many aspects : education, welfare, health,culture etc. They even deprived them of some civil rights they own being citizens like voting. Until 1964 these laws were governed and you can say helped maintain the gap between the races which is nowadays slowly closing down, I hope!

But DOCTOR JAMROCK says different. He says that these laws made it possible for the Ku Klux Klan to carry on with what they were doing and make life harder for black people. DOCTOR JAMROCK is a person who speaks out bredren. I and I is not standing for this ting.The Jim Crow Law was alsome called the "black code"

very, very, very , very badly for everyone in the south. i am only a child and i know this. thanks to everybody from me.

Jim Crow law .

The Jim Crow laws were laws that made segregation and discrimination legal after the civil war. They were named after a popular song called, "Jim Crow". These laws established a "separate is equal" system between the two races. These laws said that the blacks were not allowed into restraunts, public restrooms, boarding stations, parks, theatres, and many more. In 1896 in the Plessey vs. Ferguson case said that separate facilties were constitutional encouraged. But, in 1954 the Jim Crow Laws were overruled and destroyed.

Blacks could vote if

1. They could read (they had to pass a literacy test)

2. Their grandfather was not a slave (this limited the number of freedmen that could vote)

Term used to describe the domination of post-Civil War southern politics by the Democratic Party

Booth plotted to assassinate Lincoln, Seward, and Johnson to help the Confederacy win the war and avenge the South.

Jim Crow laws discrimanated aganst blacks mostly, but Jews and other minorities were also subject to JIm Crow. Jim crow indirectly affected White people because they were not expected to associate with Blalck people, even if they had the desire to. Whites got better schools and other facilities than people labeled as colored. Really, Jim Crow affected all people in the South
