person in an old song.

When it started. Jim Crow Laws first developed in a few

Northern states in the early 1800s. It was later adopted by the southern

states. The term came into use in the 1880s. Racial segregation was legal at the time.

The Supreme Court. The Supreme Court supported

segregation. Example. Plessey v. Ferguson. In the 1896 the Court supported

Louisiana law separating whites and blacks in a {supposedly separate but equal} rail road car.

For more than 50 years people used the separate but equal rule.

Terrorists Ku Klux Klan was a terrorist group against

blacks. They did not like the idea of blacks

having freedom. The KKK extremely supported the Jim

Crow laws.
