Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Jim Crow laws were state and local laws in the United States enacted between 1876 and 1965. They mandated de jure racial segregation in all public facilities in Southern states of the former Confederacy, with a supposedly "separate but equal" status for black Americans. The separation led to treatment, financial support and accommodations that were usually inferior to those provided for white Americans, systematizing a number of economic, educational and social disadvantages. This book studies the Jim Crow Laws including separate but equal, freedman, the Civil Rights Act of 1875, and the desegregation busing in the United States.
