The Jim Crow laws were a series of state and local statutes that enforced racial segregation in the Southern United States from the late 19th century until the mid-20th century. They operated under the deceptive rationale of 'separate but equal' but led to significant inequality and discrimination against African Americans. These laws were eventually challenged and abolished through the Civil Rights Movement and subsequent legislation.
