Jim Crow laws legalized racial segregation and discrimination against African Americans in the Southern United States from the late 19th century to the 1960s. These laws restricted voting rights, enforced unequal public services, and maintained a culture of fear and violence. The impact of Jim Crow laws was profound, shaping social, economic, and political life in the South until the Civil Rights Movement challenged their legitimacy.
