Jim Crow laws were a series of state and local statutes enacted in the United States between the late 19th century and the mid-20th century. These laws enforced racial segregation and discrimination against African Americans and other people of color, primarily in the Southern states. The term "Jim Crow" originated from a popular racist minstrel show character in the 1830s and became synonymous with the oppressive system that defined the era.
