How did discrimination against African-Americans in the north differ from discrimination of the south?

Discrimination against African-Americans in the North was often less overtly violent than in the South, where Jim Crow laws enforced strict segregation and institutional racism. In the North, discrimination took the form of social and economic exclusion, such as redlining, limited job opportunities, and restrictive housing practices, which created de facto segregation. While Southern discrimination was legally sanctioned and deeply rooted in the culture, Northern discrimination was more subtle and often masked by a facade of progressivism. However, both regions shared the commonality of systemic racism and inequality.
