Jim Crow Laws (1 janv. 1880 – 1 janv. 1910)

Description:

After Reconstruction, Southern governments sought ways to limit African American's ability to vote by implementing voting requirements such as a poll tax, and literacy tests, which were administered in a way that discriminated against black people. Also, in the 1890s, white southerners passed statues that legally sanctioned racial segregation. These statutes denied black people equal access to public facilities and ensured that black people lived apart from whites. Southern states confined black people to separate schools, public accommodations, season transpiration and separate grave yards.
