Jim Crow Laws

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.

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

the blacks didnt buy things from stores and they didnt pay for the buses so the country didn't get that money

hope it helped

Jim Crow laws were designed to prevent blacks from voting in the old south, but voting laws were only one type of Jim Crow Law. In general, Jim Crow Laws mandated the "Separate But Equal" status of blacks in the south. The laws ensured segregation without having to make segregation itself a law, because legally-sanctioned segregation was not permitted.

Jim Crow laws

They didn't like it because it went against everything they believed in as a race and i think that the laws were stupid but it's not like wcan go back in time and made it all change it is part of our history and it's nothing we can do about it now so whatever to this question and if your wonder why i commented on this is I'm tried of people not having their facts straight and people who are not even black telling their feeling on how we feel so whatever to them commenting and that's that
