Causes and Consequences of Jim Crow Laws during Reconstruction
Untitled Worksheet
Introduction to Jim Crow Laws
After the Civil War, despite the abolition of slavery, many Southern states introduced laws to enforce racial segregation. These laws became known as Jim Crow Laws.
The laws aimed to separate Black and White Americans in public spaces, schools, transportation, and other areas of daily life. They were justified by racially discriminatory beliefs that claimed Black people were inferior.
The enactment of Jim Crow Laws was influenced by ongoing racial prejudice, economic factors, and political efforts to maintain white supremacy.
