The Jim Crow laws were laws in the 19th century that enforced racial seperation, and they were notoriously unfair towards people with colored skin. These laws forced children to go to different water fountains, schools, bathrooms, and pretty much anything you can think of, all because of the color of their skin. But, people with colored skin normally got the worse of these; schools with less books, bathrooms that were dirtier, and so on. These laws were especially prominent in the southern United States, and they were enforced until 1965.
