Give 3 examples of Jim Crow Laws that impacted the lives of African Americans in the South.(4 points)
1. Segregated public facilities, such as schools, parks, and transportation, enforced by laws that required separate facilities for white and black citizens, leading to inferior facilities and unequal treatment for African Americans.
2. Poll taxes and literacy tests were used to disenfranchise African Americans and prevent them from voting, restricting their political power and perpetuating white supremacy.
3. Employment discrimination under Jim Crow laws allowed employers to refuse to hire or promote African Americans based on their race, limiting their economic opportunities and reinforcing racial inequalities.
