Which is NOT true of the segregation laws passed after the Civil War?
a)They prohibited interracial marriage.
b)They did not only apply to blacks.
*c)They were only in the South.
d)All of these statements are true.
I was confused between c and d because All of them sound true to me but the south wasn't the only one's with slaves and stuff!
Check your text to see if b is the answer. Did segregation laws apply to other groups -- such as Native American and whites?
Well I don't think b is right because it says which is NOT true and b was true, it didn't just apply to the blacks!
Which is NOT true of the segregation laws passed after the Civil War?
To determine which option is NOT true, let's analyze each statement one by one:
a) They prohibited interracial marriage: This statement is true. The segregation laws known as the Jim Crow laws did include provisions that prohibited interracial marriage.
b) They did not only apply to blacks: This statement is true as well. The Jim Crow laws applied to various minority groups, not just African Americans. They targeted other groups, including Native Americans, Asians, and Hispanics.
c) They were only in the South: This statement is NOT true. While the Jim Crow laws are often associated with the Southern states, similar segregation laws and practices also existed in other regions of the United States, such as the Midwest and the West.
d) All of these statements are true: This option cannot be the correct answer since one of the statements is not true, as discussed above.
Therefore, the correct answer is (c) They were only in the South, as the segregation laws were not exclusively limited to the Southern states.
