Southern laws that imposed restrictions on African Americans were called Jim Crow laws. The Jim Crow laws prevented southern African American from truly have equality with the white counterparts.
Jim Crow laws kept African Americans and whites from mixing in the South in public places.
Jim Crow
After the Civil War the 15th Amendment was passed that African American males were aloud to vote. This caused many secret southern organizations to sprout up including the KKK (Ku Klux Klan) that would terrorize African Americans. The members of the KKK believed that African Americans were lower then them and they believed in anti-communism (people not being equal to each other) Also since slavery was abolished (gotten rid of) because of the Civil War (13th Amendment that was passed that stated slavery be abolished) African Americans had to find a new way of life, they had to get jobs and live their own lives. They were no longer considered property of another person. Basically African Americans were terrorized by people who believed equality was wrong, and African Americans had to start their own lives and become their own people, no longer having an owner. Hope this helps! :)

The Jim Crow laws
The laws prevented white nurses from working in hospitals that admitted African Americans
African-Americans originally came to the US as slaves, but slavery was abolished around the end of the American Civil war. (Slavery officially ended on December 6th, 1865) However, most of the Southern White population did not like this change, so they used racist laws (such as the Jim Crow Laws) to "keep the blacks in their place". The white population believed they were superior to the black population, so they enforced racist laws and restricted their rights.
Slavers. In the 1880's the African American Americans worked as slaves.
Slavery was a state/concept inherited from ancient times. Most ancient civilisations included the state of slavery .Thus there did not need to be laws passed to enslave people - but rather the converse, the END of slavery needed new laws which were first passed in Britain driven by William Wilberforce and some time later in the US with amendment 13 to the US constitution.
They were important because it proivited african americans to vote...... They were anti black laws tht prevented african americans to participate in society
