The Jim Crow
laws were designed to enforce discrimination and segregation in the south. Their
purpose was to ensure that white Americans remain in control over the black
population through economic and social dominance. As well as in control over
women too. Unfortunately, men deemed women only slightly better than African
Americans in terms of their social standing as they expected them to be subservient
to men who were the heads of the households.
