Jim Crow was not a real person.

The Jim Crow Laws were named after a popular 19th-century minstrel song that stereotyped African Americans, "Jim Crow".

The Jim Crow laws were state and local laws introduced in the Southern United States in the late 19th and 20th centuries that forced racial segregation.

After the Civil War, African Americans were no longer enslaved, but they were not equal in status with whites in America.

Black and white people were not supposed to eat together. If they did eat together, white people were to be served first, and some sort of partition was to be placed between them.

Jim Crow etiquette was that black people were introduced to white people, never white people to black people.
