Jim Crow laws were racial laws. You'd have the white section and the black section. The laws were supposed to be fair and people were supposed to be treated right, but then the laws turned into unfaired treatments. Black men got their voting abilities taken away.
Civil Rights Act of 1875 - didn't not last long. After world war two the blacks challenged people to gain rights back. The Plusibie Ferguson court case allowed blacks and whites to be seperated as long as they were treated equal. It segrugated our nation. You would have white drinking fountains and colored black drinking fountains. Black had to sit in the back of buses and whites got front.1953 Brown vs. Board of Education in Topeka, Kansas.
Violance - If the blacks didn't follow the rules or do their jobs they were shot or hung. The Ku Klux Klan killed and tormented the blacks, not by law, but simply by hatred or because they were against them. Some police officers were in the KKK, so if a black person was hung, some police didn't do anything because they were in the KKK or they were just racist.
Schools for children - 1865 - 95 children were required to go to school. Only children 8 - 14. They went to school 12 to 16 weeks a year to help with farms. They did reading, writing, and rithmatic. The students didn't like teachers because they had harsh physical punishments. Then they started making kindergartens, which were conveinent for mothers. There was one room school houses. Everyone was taught the same thing by what book they read. Private schools started in the 1900's. Only rich kids went there. Boys and girls were taught in different rooms. Alot of kids didn't go to school because they had to work in the family business. Then kids were forced to go to school til they were 16, but some didn't even finish 8th grade. Some kids went to high school, seldom moved on to college, and girls couldn't go to college.
Technology - American mills started making paper. Wood pulp to make it.
