Question

Jim Crow laws were a broad set of local and state laws mandating racial segregation. The name “Jim Crow” came from a popular minstrel show. In the show, a racist depiction of a black character was played by a white actor in blackface. Jim Crow laws did not simply mean separate water fountains or sections of a bus. They included restrictions on where black people could live, whom they could marry and more. There were separate hotels, theaters, ticket booths and waiting areas for white and black people. Jim Crow also disenfranchised black people. The 15th Amendment, passed in 1870, granted African-American men, including former slaves, the right to vote. Nonetheless, by 1889 almost all Southern states had restricted the right to vote for black men.
Jim Crow laws would remain on the books for decades. More than laws, Jim Crow was also a set of customs. White people upheld what was considered the “acceptable” racial order. The most segregated places tended to have few actual laws, relying instead on rigid customs and threats of violence.

Answer 1

Answer:

In 1867, following the American Civil War and the abolishment of slavery, the Republican-dominated U.S. Congress passed the First Reconstruction Act over the veto of President Andrew Johnson. The act divided the South into five military districts and outlined how new governments based on universal manhood suffrage were to be established.

With the adoption of the 15th Amendment in 1870, a politically mobilized African-American community joined with white allies in the Southern states to elect the Republican Party to power, which brought about radical changes across the South. By late 1870, all the former Confederate states had been readmitted to the Union, and most were controlled by the Republican Party thanks to the support of black voters.

In the same year, Hiram Rhodes Revels, a Republican from Natchez, Mississippi, became the first African-American to sit in the U.S. Congress, when he was elected to the U.S. Senate. Although black Republicans never obtained political office in proportion to their overwhelming electoral majority, Revels and a dozen other black men served in Congress during Reconstruction, more than 600 served in state legislatures and many more held local offices.
