The Jim Crow laws were laws that segregated white people from colored people. Most of the laws were in the southern states although there were some in the northern states. They started in 1876, a couple years after the southern states lost the civil war, the reason they started was that most of the white southerners couldn't stand seeing their former slaves having equal rights and sometimes, political power.
