Did any other countries have black codes and Jim Crow laws or just the U.S.A?

Questions- If it was just a "suggestion" then why were they arrested if they broke them? What was the punishment if they didn't go, or run. Were all white people in agreeance with these laws? What's the main difference between black codes, and Jim Crow laws? Who ran this, and made it okay?

Since people in the north had been so against slavery, why didn't they do more to stop the jim crow laws? what made the south think that segregating the blacks was the best way to solve problems? it wasn't like jim crow laws were going to change the fact that slaves were free. I just don't see the point. my reaction was around the lines of:

Why didn't previous presidents just make a law preventing Jim Crow laws? Are there Jim Crow laws in other countries? Why did we segregate blacks in the first place?

Did the north try to do anything about the Jim Crow Laws? I didn't realize that almost everything was separated at the time, like golf courses, swimming pools, and barber shops; that shocked me. I didn't know that the Jim Crow Laws was so spread out throughout the country, I guess I thought it was just mostly in the South. Was jail the only punishment for breaking the Jim Crow Laws? This is something that goes more in depth than I thought, and I guess I have always kind of overlooked how bad it actually got.

Questions: Did all white people agree with the Jim Crow Laws? Were there states that didn't have any Jim Crow Laws? Why could a black barber work a white male's hair but not a white female's? What was the punishment for disobeying a Jim Crow Law? Since most Jim Crow laws weren't official laws, they couldn't really be charged of anything legally, right? My Reaction to Mr.Grant talking about his school:

Did all whites agree to not hanging around colored people? Why did it take so long to get rid of segregation if we were working on it not a lot longer after the civil war? What would happen to you if you broke jim crow laws but didn't go to jail? Were there other punishment from breaking the Jim Crow laws? What would if you broke the Jim Crow laws in jail?

I knew it last while after but like, wow, 70 or more years?! 1969?! I can see it happening for a while, but after Martin Luther King Jr. and all that stuff when a lot of black discrimination went away, you would think the U.S. would make having only white pools and the such illegal.

# data[].attributes.body
I think they were so focused on the South they may have forgotten or overlooked the Northern part because they were so wrapped up in other problems.

# data[].attributes.body
Its crazy that stuff like that happened for so long. The swimming pool thing that lasted until 1969 is kinda odd, as the North is the ones who were trying to abolish it. they were contradicting what they had been saying for quite a while. Also, I didn't realize that the Jim Crow laws were so widely spread even in the North, I just kinda thought that the South was the only place where it was at.

# data[].attributes.body
To answer your question Talan I think they didn't step in because they already had just fought a big war and they were just focused on getting the South back into the Union, a big challenge by itself. They passed the amendments, like you said, thinking that would make everyone equal.

Question: Why wouldn't the north step in more for free rights? If they won a war over it I'd imagine that they'd push it more. To answer the one about the 15th amendment guaranteeing more rights (Jada's I think), I think that it either didn't occur to them or they didn't think the South would approve of it, but if they passed the right to vote then black people could vote so everything was fair.

# data[].attributes.body
Questions: How was having laws that only applied to colored people legal? Why didn't the 15th amendment cover more than just the right to vote, so that we could have avoided the Jim Crow laws? How could everyone admire a colored person but still make them and every other colored person abide the Jim Crow laws?

# data[].attributes.body
Why did some people think it was a good idea to seperate or not give as many rights to colored people? What did whites not like about colored people to where they didn't want to be at the same golf course or swimming pool?

# data[].attributes.body
I did not know that the laws discriminating non white skinned people lasted as long as they did. I knew that they lasted far after the civil war, but I had no idea that it hasn't even been 100 years since they were completely abolished. It is honestly shameful that we did things like that for so long. Also, when did these laws go away for good... if at all?(the picture is because the video was long and this was my face asking if it was over yet)

Question - Why would people of color be arrested if they broke the Jim Crow Laws because they are suggestions, and not official laws?                              Answer to the question about why the U.S allowed the Jim Crow laws to be so prominent - I don't think the U.S supported it at all, but I think that it was hard to stop it since it wasn't an actual law.

Hey Gee and Jeremiah good morning but did you smell the ash???

Question-Why did this happen to the states since the Union fought supper hard to let those slaves become free? Did this have something to do with the fear of change for the US?

Questions: Why was this allowed to happen, especially in the north? They fought so hard to make it equal for African-Americans, yet they let segregation happen for over 70 years. Also, why would African-Americans play the role of Jim Crow in plays, when he was like the representation of the laws keeping them separate from whites? Answers: Yes, there were Jim Crow laws in free states, we just don't know as much about them. The fact that there are Jim Crow laws everywhere is the most surprising thing since the Northern states fought so hard to get rid of slavery.

Question: Where did the name, Jim Crow come from? Are there still Jim Crow Laws to this day?

Questions: Where there Jim Crow Laws in free states? Was the punishment for breaking a Jim Crow Law always jail?

# data[].attributes.body
Why were these laws allowed to exist after all the deaths that happened to make everyone equal? What did they charge the people that were arrested over silent Jim Crow Laws with because you have to have a just cause for arresting them and if they weren't laws yet they couldn't arrest them, right?

Questions: Why would the people that believe that discrimination was wrong and do nothing about it? Why would the country let something like this occur so long after all that fighting in the civil war?  Which groups of african americans were more targeted than other african americans? Image:

# data[].attributes.body
Even after the Civil War, when slavery was abolished, how did the government allow the South to pass these laws that only targeted the black people? The South was now part of the rest of the Union, and had to follow our laws/amendments so why were they allowed to pass these Jim Crow laws that discriminated against blacks when everyone was supposed to be equal and have rights?

Question: Even though the country was still one, it seems like the south was still finding ways to make their own laws that pertained to the freedom of black people. Why didn't the U.S intervene and say overall state law with public law?                      Answers: I don't think that the black crow laws were ever abolished, seeing that most of the time they were more so extreme social cues. However, the ones that were made into laws may also never have been abolished, just not followed anymore. That happens often with laws that were made a long time ago.

Didn't the North (or rather the Federal government) do anything to stop Jim Crow laws or Black Code? When, if ever, were Jim Crow laws and Black code abolished? How long did Radical Republicans last?

How did the south create Jim Crowe Laws after the civil war and slavery was abolished? and Why did they start creating Jim Crowe Laws so long after the end of the civil war and slavery was abolished?

# data[].attributes.body
How did the South create Jim Crowe Laws after slavery was abolished, why didn’t the north do anything about it? How was segregation still going on in the late 1970’s, Why didn’t someone stop it. I was also wondering why the Jim Crow Laws were enforced like they were laws but the were never really laws? Black Face was the Image that everyone in those concerts had of African-Americans. I think this was similar to propaganda in the way that they planned to spread this image when it really didn’t exist. I can’t believe they separated pools. Why did it make such a difference to them, In my mind, people are people and no matter the color of their skin, they are just as human as any one else. I feel like we should’ve paid damages to these slaves.

When the U.S north won the civil war, why did they allow the segregation and jim crow laws to be so prominent, and so powerful and gave whites all the power? I mean we did the war to stop the reign of white people. Also, I was wondering if there was any special treatment for African Americans that were famous during the time of the Jim crow laws and if they did not have to follow the laws as much? Also, to answer the question about what blackface looked like, it was probably the most stereotypical image of an African American at that time because the goal of that image was to put down the African Americans and make white people laugh.

Questions:
What does black face look like?
Why would they separate pools until the late 1960s?
