Jim Crow is an unofficial name given to the white’s laws of segregation and other forms of racial separation. It was a legal way to continue racism and helped to maintain the gap between whites and blacks. These laws enforced the “separate but equal” doctrine and they created two different societies in America, the whites and the blacks. The Jim Crow laws made life even more difficult for African Americans than it already was.
The two races were separated by their education, welfare, transportation, restaurants, parks, restrooms, drinking fountains, health care, and culture. The African Americans were even deprived from some legal rights such as voting. Imagine having to eat at separate restaurant or drink from a different water fountain
