Answer:

White southerners sought to protect their privileged position by adopting the so-called "Jim Crow" laws.

Explanation:

The "Jim Crow" laws were a series of local and state laws that enforced racial segregation in all public facilities and spaces in the southern United States, from the end of the 19th century until they were ruled illegal by the Civil Rights Act of 1964. They were named so after a song and dance called "Jump Jim Crow", which was performed in blackface by white minstrel Thomas Rickface during the mid 19th century. He became famous for his performance, and "Jim Crow" came to be used as a derogative term for African-Americans.

With the end of the Civil War (1861-1865), slavery was declared illegal and all former slaves gained their freedom and rights as citizens of the United States. White southerners were angry after the defeat of the Confederacy, and they felt threatened by African-Americans, who represented a sizable minority in the southern states. <u>White southerners sought to protect their privileged position by adopting the so-called "Jim Crow" laws</u>. These laws segregated public spaces by establishing separate facilities for African-Americans, and limited their civil rights, like voting.

What else happened before the cherokee left. from trail of tears?
grigory [225]

Before the Cherokee left on the Trial of Tears, the Cherokee people were divided, that was the best way to handle the government´s determination to get its hands on their territory. Some wanted to stay and fight, ohers thought it was better to agree to leave in exchange for money and other concessions.

In 1835 a few self appointed representatives of the Cherokee nation negotiated the treaty of New Echota, which traded all Cherokee land east of the Mississippi for US$ 5 Million, relocation assistance and compensation for lost properties.
