Today we started presenting chapter 88-3-What laws and restrictions were put on African-Americans and other minorities after Reconstruction ended?They were generally segregated against and they had to do everything seperate from the white people and there were laws that stated they couldn't vote unless they passed a literacy test with super hard questions. Jim Crow laws were an example of this. Many blacks were lynched and they worked for very little money and some Mexicans were basically made slaves until they could make up their debts call Debt Peonage.-Explain the significance of Plessy v. Ferguson.It said that segregation was legal and people were seperate but equal not put down. Legally set up segregation for the next 60 years.I learned about this stuff for the first time.
