What were the Jim Crow Laws?
Jim Crow laws were laws in the South of the USA and based on race.
They enforced segregation between White people and Black people in public places such as schools, transportation, restrooms, and restaurants. They also made it difficult for Black people to vote.
The basis for segregation was “Separate but equal”.

Why were they called the Jim
Crow Laws?
The name "Jim Crow" comes from an
African-American character in a song
from 1832.
After the song came out, the term "Jim
Crow" was often used to refer to African-
Americans and soon the segregation
laws became known as "Jim Crow" laws.

Voting
Poll taxes and literary requirements meant many Black people were denied the vote.
White people were not affected by this (1866).
This meant that Black people were not represented in the political system.

different schools.

as they were of equal quality then this
was fine.

A school for white children. A school for black children.
Do you think these schools are equal in
quality?
