Jim Crow laws were a system of state and local laws enforcing racial segregation and discrimination against black people in the United States from the late 1800s until the mid-1900s. These laws were enforced by the courts and had a significant impact on the lives of black Americans, limiting their rights and opportunities. Slavery laws were abolished with the 13th Amendment in 1865, apartheid laws were enforced in South Africa, and "black laws" is not a commonly used term to describe discriminatory laws against black people.
