What effect did Jim Crow Laws actually have on Americans in their daily lives and how do you know?
Jim Crow laws had a major effect on African Americans everyday during the Jim Crow era. In their daily lives, African Americans had to do different things than what white people had to do. White people were racist towards blacks in almost everything where both races were involved. Jim Crow laws were unfair towards blacks. One example was in some states like California, blacks and whites could not attend the same schools. The white would not go to school if they were with blacks. Another example of a Jim Crow law was, all railways had to provide separate cars or places where blacks and whites could sit. They could not sit in the same rail cars.
