Jim Crow Laws

A 42-year-old African American woman ..."When I made that decision," she said later, "I knew that I had the strength of ...the segregation law was unconstitutional and the Montgomery buses were integrated. ...Two other women had been arrested on buses in Montgomery before Parks decided to sit in the bus seat.

To opress blacks in the south.

REAL ANSWER: They were made so that the democratic party could still stay in power. Because if they (the south) were to allow the blacks to vote, they would most assuredly vote for the republicans. It was not only about keeping blacks down, but also a way for democrats to have the power.

True for A+ Social Studies.

Migration as a form of protest dominated black discourse and action after emancipation, and as the century turned, a trickle of black southerners, mostly women, began to leave the land for the cities of the South and the North. They laid the groundwork for what was later called the Great Migration, when millions of African Americans left the brutalities of the South for the possibilities of the North. Black migrations were fueled by several factors. African Americans hoped to escape the tyranny of the South, especially economic oppression.

1965 to 1967

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 finally ended the concept of legal racial segregation, and made discrimination a crime in many cases. The major areas it addressed were the right to vote, the integration of public schools, and the right to access to public places (not just public buildings, but also private businesses such as restaurants that are open to the public). It could not mandate the end to discrimination in private clubs and organizations, but many of these eventually changed their policies.

Because he was not black and he thought that blacks should do every thing and that blavks wher not better then whites

false....

Jim Crow laws were aimed at separating races. Marriages between blacks and whites were forbidden. The races had separate areas in public.

Seperated Blacks from the Whites

It is discrimination enforced by law. The best example was the segregated water fountains, restrooms and hotels in the Southern states prior to the 1960's.

I believe that three of the Jim Crow Laws are systematizing a number of economic, educational, and social disadvantages.

Jim crow laws exited in all of the southern areas such as alabama,

Black Codes were instituted in the South as a means of regulating the activities of slaves. Black Codes were passed by southern legislatures to regulate what ex-slaves could and could not do. In some states, blacks were only permitted to work as domestic servants or in agriculture. Other codes made it illegal for blacks to live in towns and cities. Blacks were denied the right to vote or permitted to possess firearms. The attempt of the Black Codes to reinstate slavery following the Civil War, angered many in the North. When Black Codes were declared unconstitutional or removed during the period of Reconstruction, the South reinstated them in the 19th Century in the form of laws called Jim Crow Laws. Jim Crow was a term used to stereotype Blacks as a song and dance man team. Eventually, Jim Crow Laws were also declared unconstitutional.

In the southern states

slave codes

Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and, Wyoming all had Jim Crow laws. However each state had their own list of laws.

Jim Crow separated blacks and whites by preventing them from going to school together and using the same public facilities such as restrooms. Blacks and whites had separate entrances to businesses and public transportation had separate sections for whites and blacks.

Jim Crow is a name, but not the name of a person. The words "Jim Crow" are symbolic of racism - especially in the United States. To live in a Jim Crow nation means that the nation has rules that treat their people differently because of their ethnicity. Most of the time, however, the state does not treat them fairly, but as one race is inferior to the other(s).

Although the Civil War was over some white people believed that all blacks weren't EQUAL to them. The Jim Crow laws basically separated the races. African Americans did not receive the same rights as white people. Blacks were to enter inside the back of restaurants or any public places that whites often attended. They were not allowed to vote and were often force to take a literacy test. African American people didn't have the rights to do ANY that was considered good for white people are something that would have bought them up in life.

It was named Jim Crow after a song/dance that riticuled African Americans. It was called "Jump, Jim Crow".
