Read the text about Reconstruction and Jim Crow laws in South Carolina.

Using evidence from the text, in what ways did the Jim Crow laws discriminate against African Americans? Identify 3 facts

1 of 3

When Federal troops withdrew from the South ending Reconstruction, conditions deteriorated for African Americans. Segregation and discrimination had long been accepted practices in South Carolina. Schools had been segregated from the time of their establishment during Reconstruction. Following the end of Reconstruction, the South Carolina legislature passed Jim Crow laws to provide a legal means to segregate African Americans in South Carolina. Jim Crow laws were a way for South Carolina to circumvent the rights established for African Americans by the thirteenth and fourteenth amendments to the Constitution of the United States. The thirteenth amendment abolished slavery. The fourteenth amendment secured the rights of citizenship for African Americans including due process and equal protection of the laws. Jim Crow laws meant that African Americans could not ride in the same railroad cars or use the same public restrooms or water fountains.

They had to sit in the balcony at theaters and could not eat in the same restaurants as whites. Every aspect of life was separate. As time passed and technology changed, Jim Crow was applied to new circumstances. Jim Crow laws meant that African Americans could not ride in the same railroad cars or use the same public restrooms or water fountains. They had to sit in the balcony at theaters and could not eat in the same restaurants as whites. Every aspect of life was separate. As time passed and technology changed, Jim Crow was applied to new circumstances. Other laws were also passed to limit African Americans' right to vote as protected in the fifteenth amendment. African Americans were required to pass a literacy test on the Constitution. Even if they could read the Constitution, the white examiner declared that they were illiterate and therefore could not vote. Voters were also required to pay a poll tax before they could vote. This was particularly hard for poor sharecroppers, many of whom were African Americans. Poor illiterate whites were allowed to vote because of the "grandfather clause" that allowed them to vote if their grandfather could vote prior to the Civil War.

3 of 3

Jim Crow laws meant that racial discrimination was now written into the state law and could be enforced by the state government. Because their right to vote was denied, African Americans had no representation in their government and could not protect their rights. The national government did not interfere in state government to protect African American citizens. The Supreme Court ruled that "separate but equal" was constitutional. However, conditions were not equal. Because of segregation and discrimination, African Americans were not hired to work in the mills but might get jobs loading and unloading the cotton bales and finished cloth outside of the mill.

Civil RightsJim Crow Laws

What were the Jim Crow laws?

Jim Crow laws were laws in the South based on race. They enforced segregation between white people and black people in public places such as schools, transportation, restrooms, and restaurants. They also made it difficult for black people to vote.

When were the Jim Crow laws enforced?

After the Civil War there was a period in the South called the Reconstruction. During this time the federal government controlled the southern states. However, after the Reconstruction, the state governments took back over. Most Jim Crow laws were put in place in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Many of them were enforced until the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Why were they called "Jim Crow"?

The name "Jim Crow" comes from an African-American character in a song from 1832. After the song came out, the term "Jim Crow" was often used to refer to African-Americans and soon the segregation laws became known as "Jim Crow" laws.

Examples of Jim Crow Laws

Jim Crow laws were designed to keep black and white people apart. They touched on many aspects of society. Here are a few examples of laws in different states:Alabama - All passenger stations shall have separate waiting rooms and separate ticket windows for the white and colored races.Florida - The schools for white children and the schools for black children shall be conducted separately.Georgia - The officer in charge shall not bury any colored persons upon the ground set apart for the burial of white persons.Mississippi - Prison wardens shall see that the white convicts shall have separate apartments for both eating and sleeping from the negro convicts.There were also laws that tried to prevent black people from voting. These included poll taxes (a fee people had to pay to vote) and reading tests that people had to pass before they could vote.

Grandfather Clauses

In order to make sure that all white people could vote, many states enacted "grandfather" clauses into their voting laws. These laws stated that if your ancestors could vote before the Civil War, then you did not have to pass the reading test. This allowed for white people who could not read to vote. This is where the term "grandfather clause" comes from.

Fighting Segregation

African-Americans began to organize, protest, and fight segregation and the Jim Crow laws in the 1900s. In 1954, the Supreme Court said that segregation of the schools was illegal in the famous Brown v. Board of Education case. Later, protests such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the Birmingham Campaign, and the March on Washington brought the issue of Jim Crow to national attention.

The End of Jim Crow Laws

Jim Crow laws were made illegal with the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Interesting Facts about Jim Crow LawsThe U.S. army was segregated until 1948 when President Harry Truman ordered the armed services desegregated.As many as 6 million African-Americans relocated to the North and West to get away from the Jim Crow laws of the south. This is sometimes called the Great Migration.Not all Jim Crow laws were in the south or were specific to black people. There were other racial laws in other states such as a law in California that made it illegal for people of Chinese ancestry to vote. Another California law made it illegal to sell alcohol to Indians.The phrase "separate but equal" was often used to justify segregation.
