Debora [2.8K]3 years ago

The new rifle cartridges contain gunpowder and musket ball. To ensure that the gunpowder and musket ball will not get wet, the cartridges are greased. It is believed that the grease was made out of pork fat or beef fat.

Believing that the rifle cartridges contains grease from pork fat, Muslims refuse to bite the tips off because they abhor pork and its products. On the other hand, the Hindus also refuse to bite the tips off because they believe that the grease on the cartridges was from beef fat. For them, cows are sacred and biting the tips containing that has beef fat is sacrilegous.

Why did southern legislatures enact Jim Crow laws after Reconstruction? Group of answer choices
meriva

The correct answer is letter A.

Explanation:  The laws were intended to give African Americans even less rights in society by forcing them to change to the North (Great Migration).

Jim Crow Laws was state and local laws enacted in the United States that institutionalized racial segregation, affecting African Americans, Asians, and other ethnic groups. Effective between 1876 and 1965. A "Jim Crow epoch" or a "Jim Crow era" refers to the time when this practice occurs. Major laws require that public schools and most public places (including trains and buses) have separate facilities for whites and blacks. These Jim Crow Laws were distinct from the Black Codes (1800-1866), which restricted African American civil liberties and rights.
