The way in that Mesopotamian culture influenced the Hebrews, Israelites, and Jews was the following.
Father Abraham, the patriarch of the ancient Hebrew people, was from the city-state of Ur, an ancient Sumerian city-state, that was one of the most important in the Mesopotamian times, as well as the city-states of Uruk, Lagash, Nippur or Eridu. Abraham's family worshiped the Mesopotamian Gods, but Abraham believed in one God. That is why he decided to leave Ur with his wife Sarah. He believed that this one god he believed in, had promised the Hebrews a special land for them, and that is when they settled in Canaan, modern-day Jewish territory, close to Judah. That is why Hebrews are also known as Jewish.
There were several different restrictions placed on blacks due to the Jim Crow laws. The following are just a couple examples.
1) Poll taxes- This was a certain amount of money an individual would have to pay in order to vote. This negatively effected African-Americans, as many of them could not afford this tax.
2) Literacy tests- These were written tests that individuals had to pass in order to vote. These were extremely difficult to do well on, due to the wording of the question or the time given to complete the test. This targeted African-Americans, as many of them had no formal schooling as of this time period.
3) Segregated public facilities- Everything from public schools to public pools were segregated in order to keep blacks and whites away from each other.
