Reconstruction unit lesson 4 - jim crow laws - power point
The document discusses the end of Reconstruction and the rise of Jim Crow laws in the Southern United States. After Reconstruction ended in 1877, the federal troops withdrew from the South and the Freedmen's Bureau was shut down. Without these protections, racist Southern states passed Jim Crow laws that segregated public spaces and denied African Americans their civil and political rights, such as requiring poll taxes to vote. Groups like the Ku Klux Klan used violence and intimidation to enforce racial segregation and prevent African Americans from exercising their rights.
Jim Crow
The document summarizes Jim Crow laws and the Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision that upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation. It describes how Jim Crow originated from racist minstrel shows and the Black Codes passed after the Civil War. The 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson decision established the "separate but equal" doctrine, allowing racial segregation in public facilities. As a result, Jim Crow laws mandated the separation of public services and facilities for blacks and whites.
Jim crow laws
This lecture is devoted to the Jim Crow Era. It relates the different civil rights cases that marked the beginnings of the era, and sheds light on black disenfranchisement in the Southern states as well as segration in both public and private spheres
JIM CROW LAW
The Jim Crow laws established racial segregation and discrimination in the Southern United States between 1882 and 1968, prohibiting African Americans from interacting with whites in public places, using the same transportation, or attending the same schools. The laws negatively impacted African Americans by denying them privileges, instilling constant fear, and leading to poorer living conditions, less education, and widespread discrimination. The Jim Crow system developed from a combination of historical factors, racial beliefs of the time, and a snowball effect that reinforced further discrimination.
Jim Crow Law
The document traces the history of slavery and civil rights for African Americans in the United States from the 1600s through the 1960s. It notes that by the 1660s, most Africans in the American colonies were enslaved and used to work plantations. The Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery in 1865, while the Fourteenth Amendment granted citizenship to freed slaves. In 1896, the Supreme Court upheld the "separate but equal" doctrine allowing racial segregation. The Civil Rights Movement led to landmark legislation like the Voting Rights Act of 1965, combating racist voter disenfranchisement laws and practices.

After the abolition of slavery in 1865, Black Americans still faced widespread legal discrimination and racism in the Southern United States. The Jim Crow laws enforced racial segregation and denied Black people access to equal resources like schools, housing, and the right to vote through literacy tests. These unjust laws were not abolished until the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s fought to end segregation and racial discrimination.
Segregation and Discrimination
After the failures of Reconstruction, racism expanded in the post-Civil War South through practices like sharecropping and voting restrictions, as well as violence from the KKK. Jim Crow laws were enacted to legally enforce segregation in schools and public places, supported by the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court ruling of "separate but equal". While segregation was most extreme in the South, racism was also present in Northern states through job and housing discrimination. Resistance to racism emerged in the late 19th century through early civil rights leaders like Ida B. Wells, Booker T. Washington, and W.E.B. DuBois, though Washington and DuBois differed in their approaches, with Washington advocating

CIVIL WAR 2
The Civil War began in 1861 after southern states seceded from the Union in response to Abraham Lincoln's election. Lincoln aimed to preserve the Union but did not initially seek to end slavery, which concerned African Americans. After the Confederacy attacked Fort Sumter, the war officially began. In 1863, Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation freeing slaves in rebel states, and over 180,000 African Americans joined the Union army and navy, helping turn the tide of the war in the North's favor. The war ended in 1865 with the South's defeat and slavery abolished nationwide by the 13th Amendment, beginning the Reconstruction era.
Black history
1) Slavery began in ancient times and a slave market was established in Portugal in the 15th century importing African slaves to work in North and South America. Whites owned and treated black slaves extremely cruelly, denying them rights and working them very hard.
2) During the Civil War in the 1860s, northern states fought to abolish slavery while southern states wanted to maintain slavery. The war lasted 4 years ultimately freeing slaves.
3) After the Civil War, Jim Crow laws were established between 1876-1965 creating legal segregation and discrimination against blacks, denying them equal opportunities and treatment. The Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 60s fought for equal rights for all.

Photo Essay Racial Segregation
Racism has existed throughout history and was particularly prominent between 1750 and 1970, when people were openly segregated by skin color in many countries. In the US, black people faced targeted discrimination through policies like segregated drinking fountains and prevention from voting, enforced by groups like the Ku Klux Klan, though civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. fought against it. While racism is less overt today, some areas of the US still have few black residents, contributing to remaining ignorance and racism.
Jim Crow Signs Powerpoint
Jim Crow laws mandated racial segregation and were enforced in the United States between the 1880s and 1960s. These laws required facilities like schools, public parks, restaurants, and transportation to be segregated for black and white people. Signs at facilities would label entrances, waiting areas, seating sections, or other spaces as "colored" or "white." The 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision ruled that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional and violated the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment, finding that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." This landmark ruling overturned the "separate but equal" doctrine and dismantled the legal basis of racial segregation in America.

These laws mandated the separation of public places and facilities for blacks and whites, including schools, hospitals, restaurants, public transportation, and other public accommodations. The laws targeted African Americans and prohibited interracial marriage. While some states repealed certain Jim Crow laws in the early 20th century, segregation remained widespread and legal until the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s challenged discrimination and racial segregation, culminating in the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Racial Segregation
Racial segregation was practiced in the United States through much of the 20th century, separating public facilities, services, housing, education and transportation along racial lines.

The End of Reconstruction and the Rise of Jim Crow Laws
The document summarizes the end of Reconstruction and the rise of Jim Crow laws in the Southern United States after the Civil War. It explains that after Reconstruction ended in 1877, without federal protection, African Americans lost many rights and freedoms. Southern states then began passing Jim Crow laws that legalized racial segregation and discrimination, denying African Americans equal access to public spaces, education, jobs, voting rights, and more. This led to the widespread oppression and disenfranchisement of African Americans under an entrenched system of racial segregation in the South for the next 70+ years.
The demand for civil rights
The civil rights movement in the United States sought to end racial discrimination against African Americans and achieve equal rights under the law. From the 1950s to the 1960s, civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. organized nonviolent protests against issues like segregated public facilities and voter disenfranchisement. Major events included the Montgomery bus boycott, the March on Washington, and protests in Birmingham, which helped build support for new civil rights laws banning discrimination. However, tensions remained over full social and economic equality.

This included poll taxes, literacy tests, and the "separate but equal" doctrine established by the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision, which legalized segregation across the South. The document also profiles early African American leaders who opposed these discriminatory policies, such as Ida B. Wells fighting against lynching, and Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois debating different approaches to civil rights.
Chapter 44
Segregation was still widespread after World War II, especially in the American South where Jim Crow laws mandated separation of public facilities by race. In the 1940s-1950s, some institutions like professional sports and the military began integrating. The Supreme Court also started dismantling Jim Crow with rulings like Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, which declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional. This marked the beginning of a new era in the fight for civil rights in America.
Group 1--Shauntel, Ditra, Aaron, Jack
The document summarizes a presentation on how racial stratification and gender inequality are "moving targets" over time. It discusses the Great Migration of African Americans from the rural South to the urban North from 1910-1970 as they sought freedom and opportunity. It then explains how de jure segregation laws enforced racial segregation after the Civil War. Next, it outlines some of the technological, economic, and social changes that led to racial and gender inequality in the workplace. The presentation concludes by discussing affirmative action and how its goals and legal status have evolved over time.
Black History
Slavery began in the early 1400s as Britain took natives from Africa to America to work on plantations without pay. The southern states had large workforces of enslaved African Americans brought over by slave traders who had to follow stricter laws than whites. During the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s-1960s, African Americans fought for equal treatment under the law. Figures like Martin Luther King Jr. and events like the Montgomery Bus Boycott helped advance civil rights. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, born in 1936 in Alabama, reflected on racism and prejudice through the story of a black man falsely accused of a crime.
African-American History ~ Antebellum Free Blacks
Free black communities formed in the post-Revolutionary period despite facing significant discrimination and lack of rights. They worked to improve their circumstances through mutual aid societies, self-improvement associations, and by participating in the abolitionist movement. While the rhetoric of the American Revolution inspired hopes for freedom and equality, in reality free black people north and south faced segregation, disenfranchisement, discrimination, and other hardships like limited civil and political rights.
Reconstruction of black & urban areas final
The document discusses the Reconstruction period in the United States following the Civil War from 1863 to 1887. During this time, the government grappled with how to reunite the northern and southern states and address the end of slavery. This led to the passage of amendments providing citizenship and voting rights to Black Americans, though the South resisted through the creation of "Black Codes" and Jim Crow laws enforcing racial segregation and discrimination. The Civil Rights movement from the 1950s to 1960s sought to end these discriminatory practices through nonviolent protests and resulted in landmark legislation banning racial segregation and discrimination.

African american reconstruction
This document provides a detailed history of racial segregation and the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. It discusses how segregation began before the Civil War and intensified after Reconstruction, becoming codified into Jim Crow laws in the 1890s. The Supreme Court upheld segregation in Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896. African Americans challenged segregation through the Civil Rights Movement beginning in the 1940s. The Movement sought to defeat white supremacy and achieve equal political and economic opportunities for blacks, not just integration into white society. Segregation began to break down in the 1950s and 1960s through Supreme Court rulings like Brown v. Board of Education and the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Black history
1) Slavery began in ancient times and a slave market was established in Portugal in the 15th century importing African slaves to work in North and South America. Whites owned and treated black slaves extremely cruelly, denying them rights and working them very hard.
2) During the Civil War in the 1860s, Northern states fought to abolish slavery while Southern states wanted to maintain slavery. The war lasted 4 years and resulted in the emancipation of slaves.
3) In the 1950s-1960s, the Civil Rights Movement sought to achieve legal equality and desegregation, ending Jim Crow laws that had discriminated against blacks since the 1870s. Leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and
Race Relations and the Early Civil Rights Movement
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, southern states like Georgia legally enforced racial segregation and passed Jim Crow laws requiring separation of public facilities for blacks and whites. The 1896 Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson upheld the constitutionality of segregation under the "separate but equal" doctrine. Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois disagreed on the approach to gaining equality, with Washington advocating for black economic empowerment through vocational skills and Du Bois pushing for full civil rights and education. Despite legal protections, southern states used intimidation, violence, and discriminatory voting laws to prevent blacks from exercising their civil rights.
Kohl civil rights movement
The document summarizes key aspects of segregation and the civil rights movement in the United States, including:
Segregation enforced racial separation in public spaces like schools, transportation, and public accommodations through Jim Crow laws. The 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court ruling declared segregation unconstitutional, sparking massive resistance from white southerners. Events like the Montgomery Bus Boycott and murder of Emmett Till further galvanized the civil rights movement to challenge racial injustices through nonviolent protest and legal challenges to segregation.
African american 1865 1970
This document summarizes African American history from 1865 to 1970, covering the post-Civil War Reconstruction era, rise of Jim Crow laws enforcing racial segregation, civil rights movement of the 1950s-1960s led by Martin Luther King Jr., and desegregation of public schools following the 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education Supreme Court ruling declaring racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional. Key events mentioned include the 1948 desegregation of the US military by President Truman, lynchings targeting African Americans, and various Jim Crow laws that imposed racial segregation in public facilities, transportation, and accommodations through the early 1970s.
Segregation
The document discusses the history and definition of segregation in the United States. It began after the Civil War, when southern states passed Black Codes limiting the rights of African Americans. This led to the Jim Crow era between 1876-1965, during which states mandated racial segregation in public facilities under the "separate but equal" doctrine. Segregation existed in activities like eating, drinking from fountains, using bathrooms, attending school, or going to movies. The rise of leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and pivotal events like Rosa Parks' bus protest helped bring national attention to the civil rights movement and end legally mandated segregation.
