Why were "Jim Crow" laws passed in Georgia? (1 point) Responses to encourage industrial growth to enforce the policy of segregation to protect the civil rights of minorities to provide financial relief to farmers
The "Jim Crow" laws were passed in Georgia primarily to enforce the policy of segregation. These laws were intended to enforce racial discrimination and maintain a system of racial hierarchy and white supremacy. They aimed to separate African Americans from whites in all aspects of public life, including education, transportation, and public facilities such as restrooms and restaurants. These laws were part of a broader effort to deny African Americans their civil rights and maintain the institutionalized racism prevalent in the southern states during that period.
