Black history after the US Civil War was tough on former slaves and their extended families. In the South after Reconstruction, white people regained political control of the former southern Confederate states and passed segregation laws to keep Afro Americans from voting for example. Even in the North there was perhaps "silent segregation" in the large cities. This was done to hut Black people because of racist ideas that amendments to the US Constitution could not cure.
Black and White segregation laws were made because the people thought it was necessary. They thought it was important that people of color has to be restricted because of their skin color.
There is more than one reason why whites wanted segregation. However, one of the main underlying factors was fear. Fear of the unknown and fear of change.
