23 Jim Crow Laws

24 Jim Crow Laws The Jim Crow Laws were state and local laws enacted in the Southern and Border States of the United States and enforced between 1876 and They gave African Americans inferior status. The "Jim Crow period" or the "Jim Crow era" refers to the time during which this practice occurred. The most important laws required that public schools and most public places (including trains and buses) have separate facilities for whites and blacks. It is thought that the term 'Jim Crow laws' originated from the 1828 popular song Jump Jim Crow, a blackface song which made derogatory references to the character of colored people. As a result of this song, the term 'Jim Crow' became a derogatory or mocking term for black people, used in the Deep South.
