Jim Crow Laws were laws in the South during the Reconstruction era. These laws enforced segregation between white people and African American people in public places such as schools, transportation, restrooms, and restaurants.

These laws made it difficult for white people and African American people to vote but mainly African Americans. The approaches used that kept people from being able to vote were violence- threats, literacy tests- this test measured if the people voting could read, grandfather clauses- if your ancestors were able to vote then, you automatically could too, poll taxes- in order to vote you had to pay but many people in the south had low income and could not afford it, and many more (Adedapo, Kaplan).

In 1896, the Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson declared the decision of "separate but equal" for African Americans and whites (Urofsky). It states, "Intrastate railroads were among many segregated public facilities the verdict sanctioned; others included buses, hotels, theaters, swimming pools and schools" (Onion et. al). This resulted into segregated facilities for two races.
