Did Jim Crow Law exist before the Civil War?
● No, they did not
● The laws were implemented after the civil war to gain control over the blacks
● They felt mistreated that they were equal
What made the whites want to do it?
● The reasoning behind is to make as much separations and inequality as
possible between the whites and the black people at that time.
● Another reasoning for this law was the fact that white people in south felt they
had their “rights” take away in american civil war.
Name the practical consequences of
these laws

● Hanging in front was the people in the city was also common
● Out all of them though torture was by far the worst
