Segregation under Jim Crow Laws (1 Jan 1877 Jahr – 1 Jan 1960 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

When Rutherford Hayes was elected in 1877, he overturned the protections that had been put in place (he withdrew the military, for example), introducing the “Jim Crow” era of enforced “racial” segregation – laws that remained in place until the 1960s (the era of the Civil Rights Movement). The effects of these laws were felt unequally in different regions of the country, typically divided into the north (those states in which slavery had not been legal) and the south (those states that had been driven by plantation economies and slavery-based labor).
