Answer 1

The following is a direct quote from a Wiki article on Jim Crow. The site is listed below.

<<The Jim Crow laws were state and local laws enacted primarily but not exclusively in the Southern and border states of the United States, between 1876 and 1965. They mandated de jure segregation in all public facilities, with a "separate but equal" status for black Americans and members of other non-white racial groups.>>
