engelsk, jim crow law

Jim Crow laws were created to separate black and white people from even the slightest bit if contact.

Back in 1810 white people thought that black people were put on this earth to work. They thought blacks didn’t deserve any respect. They thought of African-Americans as slaves, workers, and animals.
 

The Jim Crow Laws were legal and social restrictions that separated black people from white people beginning in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Traveling during The Jim Crow Era exposed African-Americans to both risk and humiliation. Crossing the Mason-Dixon Line or the Ohio River meant entering a different world with different laws.

The name Jim Crow was ironically, a white man’s imitation of a dancing and singing black stableman. As a result, the white performers gave the name to a system of segregation in the South. The Supreme Court ruled in 1896 in Plessey v. Ferguson that separate facilities for whites and blacks was constitutional. This form of discrimination took out the gains made by blacks during this time.
