In U.S. History today we broke into groups of two or three and discussed the next project for this class. My group consists of Haley Patten, Rachel Pauley, and myself. Our project is Chapter 7-2: The Challenges of Urbanization. My topic in this section is Urban Problems. We also split into groups for Chapter 8. My group is myself, Rachel, Rebecca, Jessica, and Cassie. Our group has section 3: Segregation and Discrimination. My topic is the Jim Crow Laws. I'll start my research in the ever so popular U.S. History book. This seems like a lot to think about in just one day, so many blogs, so little time!
Notes- Jim Crow Laws
-Jim Crow Laws: Southern states passed racial segregation laws to spearate white and black people in public and private facilities
-1870's & 1880's
-Segregation: the separation of people on the basis of race
-Supreme Court failed to overturn the poll tax or the grandfather clause
-Blacks lost voting rights
-Named 'Jim Crow Laws' after a popular old minstrel song that ended in the words 'Jump, Jim Crow.'
-Segregation between blacks and whites was put into effect in schools, hospitals, transportation systems, and parks throughout the South.
