Answer:

A minstrel show character.

Explanation:

The Jim Crow laws were a number of state and local laws that the colonies in some parts of the American nation introduced. Though the Constitution of the country had already established the abolishing of slavery, the Southern states dominated by white supremacists brought forth the new laws that legalized the racial segregation of the people.

The origin of the name came from a white actor Thomas D. Rice's "blackface" character of Jim Crow in "Jump Jim Crow". Rice's character was used as a form of satirizing the populist police of Andrew Jackson. With the popularity of the character of "Jim Crow", the phrase began to represent the "negro" people.

How does the u.s know that north korea has a h bomb
tatyana61 [14]
We really don't know if it was a hydrogen bomb or not. It is seriously doubted though because their are seismic detectors all over the world and the bomb wasn't as strong as it should have been. The U.S have said that the records that the bomb gave off was around a 4.8 magnitude event. A hydrogen bomb would've given off a 6.8. So their was definitely an explosion, but not as big as korea claims it to have been.
