Jim Crow Laws segregated Caucasians and African Americans

Jim Crow Laws segregated whites and blacks making it unlawful for blacks to so much as touch a white person. They were mainly seen in the southern and border states in 1877 to the 1960s. They made it so that all blacks were second class citizens no matter how wealthy they were. Some Christians even believed that it was God's will for blacks to be lower class/servants.
