Louisiana is known to be a former state that was a part of the Confederate States of America which meant that the state primarily took interests in protecting the institution of slavery and discriminatory policies. Furthermore, after the Civil War, many southern states such as Louisiana, had put in a multitude of laws that use segregeation and discrimination against African Americans which would later be known as the Jim Crow Era. One way that this mass social discrimination affected African Americans in Louisiana could be their ability to access public infrastructure such as African Americans being only allowed to go to schools designated for them which is usually poorly funded and not as well maintained.
