Jim Crow laws mandated racial segregation in all public facilities in the states of the former Confederate States of America and in some others, beginning in the 1870s.
They restricted public use of "white only" Resturants, water fountains, theatres and bathrooms. Many more.
One of the main qualities for Greeks was justice, but then
again this had a much wider meaning than it does in English. It meant also
treating people justly and justifiably. In Greco-Roman law the defendant had
the right to guard himself, although deprived of money he was left defending
himself. The Greek city states could be oligarchies or a division of the army,
or a restricted democracy. Rome started as a kingdom and then turn into a
republic – in the first place, aristocratic only but then merchants got voted,
and after much widespread anxiety the people were embodied by the Tribune. Furthermore,
any Roman citizen could vote, a major concern at that period.
