Jim+Crow+Laws

====    **  Jim Crow Laws  **       Between 1877 and the mid-1960s, after the  [|American Civil War]  most states in the [|South passed]an anti-African American legislation. These became known as [|Jim Crow laws]. The Jim Crow was more than a series of laws against African Americans. In daily life, African Americans were relegated to the status of [|second class citizens]. These laws discriminated against African Americans with concern to attendance in public schools and the [|use of facilities]. Jim Crow represented the legitimization of anti-Black racism. Many Christian ministers and theologians taught that Whites were [|the Chosen people], Blacks were cursed to be servants, and God supported [|racial segregation]. The Jim Crow laws were eventually [|repealed] in 1954. ====    **How long did they stay in place? **  **Who put them into place?
 *  The segregation of blacks started from the 1830's through the 1950's.

The dance became very popular.
