Answer: Jim Crow laws were state and local laws that enforced racial segregation in the Southern United States.[1] All were enacted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by white Democratic-dominated state legislatures to disenfranchise and remove political and economic gains made by blacks during the Reconstruction period.[2] The Jim Crow laws were enforced until 1965.[3]
In practice, Jim Crow laws mandated racial segregation in all public facilities in the states of the former Confederate States of America and in some other, beginning in the 1870s. Jim Crow laws were upheld in 1896 in the case of Plessy vs. Ferguson, in which the U.S. Supreme Court laid out its "separate but equal" legal doctrine for facilities for African Americans. Moreover, public education had essentially been segregated since its establishment in most of the South after the Civil War in 1861–65.
The legal principle of "separate but equal" racial segregation was extended to public facilities and transportation, including the coaches of interstate trains and buses. Facilities for African Americans were consistently inferior and underfunded compared to the facilities for white Americans; sometimes, there were no facilities for them.[4][5] As a body of law, Jim Crow institutionalized economic, educational, and social disadvantages for African Americans living in the South.[4][5][6]
Jim Crow laws and Jim Crow state constitutional provisions mandated the segregation of public schools, public places, and public transportation, and the segregation of restrooms, restaurants, and drinking fountains for whites and blacks. The U.S. military was already segregated. President Woodrow Wilson, a Southern Democrat, initiated the segregation of federal workplaces in 1913.[7]
A: The fields and farmlands are dirty places run by the serfs, indentured servants to the Lord living up in the manor house. The serfs had a rough life and had to pay harder and harder taxes, barely subsisting off of what the yfarmed.
B: The village was mostly inhabited by merchants and those who did not farm, and serfs came here to sell what goods they had excess, but they rarely had any excess after the taxes and their food were considered. In larger fiefs they were typically bustling places with many marketplaces and inns for travelers and merchants.
C: The manor house, depending upon the status of the lord, was typically either luxurious or extremely defensible, or sometimes both. In the event it was a proper castle, those from the village and fields would come and hide in it during a siege or raid, reducing civilian casualties. The lord and his family would live here, along with a garrison, if it was a castle, or guards, if it was but a manor.

Lincoln didn't agree with this bill because he thought it was too harsh. He had a more lenient Ten Percent Plan, which allowed southerners still hold/run for office,unlike the Wade-Davis Bill. Unfortunately Lincoln was assassinated before the veto was official, and the Ten Percent Plan was put in effect.
