Jim Crow Laws
Pds 2 & 5
Segregation had
been in place for
decades when
this African
American man
was asked to give
up his seat on a
railway car in
Philadelphia.
What does this
image suggest
about segregation
in the North?
Jim Crow laws
made it legal to
segregate
nonwhites and
whites in places
such as this
school.
What impact did
these laws have
on the equality
of educational
opportunities for
whites and
African
Americans?
Not all white Southerners supported segregation.
When a Jim Crow law was proposed in South Carolina,
a Charleston News and Courier editorial tried to show
how unjust it was by taking segregation to ridiculous
extremes.
If there must be Jim Crow cars on railroads, there should be
Jim Crow cars on the street railways. Also on all passenger
boats . . . There should be Jim Crow waiting saloons
[waiting rooms] at all stations, and Jim Crow eating houses
. . . There should be Jim Crow sections of the jury box, and
a separate Jim Crow . . . witness stand in every court—and a
Jim Crow Bible for colored witnesses to kiss.
Instead of being a joke, as intended,
most of these ridiculous suggestions soon became laws.
Read Supreme
Court Decisions on
page 568 and
think about the 2
questions listed.
Blue Terms go on left vocabulary page
Plessy vs. Ferguson –
o Supreme Court case that legalized
segregation / Jim Crow laws.
o “separate but equal”?

Plessy v. Ferguson
Sharecropping
was a system in
which poor
African
Americans
rented land from
white
landowners in
exchange for a
portion of the
harvest.
Many African Americans stayed on plantations
because it was too costly to buy or rent farms or
to move west
There would be continuing problems with
weather, poor harvests, and low crop prices,
making it nearly impossible for sharecroppers to
escape debt.
Landowner Sharecropper / Tenant Farmer
Landowner
Loan tools and seed up to 60% interest to tenant farmer to plant spring crop.
Farmer also secures food, clothing, and other necessities on credit from merchant until the harvest.
Merchant holds “lien” {mortgage} on part of tenant’s future crops as repayment of debt.
Plants crop, harvests in autumn.
Turns over up to ½ of crop to land owner as payment of rent.
Tenant gives remainder of crop to merchant in payment of debt.
Rents land to tenant in exchange for ¼ to ½ of tenant farmer’s future crop.
Definition – LEFT SIDE
Sharecropping
o A system of farming where the farm owner
provides the land, tools & supplies, and the

o Led to a cycle of poverty and debt.

Workers process iron in a factory in Birmingham, AL, in the 1890s.
How did the development of factories, such as this one, help to
balance opportunities for workers in the southern economy?
Southern Business Leaders
o Hoped industry would strengthen the southern economy
and create a New South
Benefits & Drawbacks of Mill Work
o Benefits:
entire families were employed, women were valued
workers, it was an alternative to farming
o Drawbacks:
tedious work and long hours, asthma & brown lung
disease, injuries, death, few advancement opportunities
for women
The most successful industrial development in
the South after Reconstruction was… textiles
On the RIGHT side – in notes. (last notes)
After Reconstruction:
o Textiles became the leading industry in
the South.
o African Americans could work as
sharecroppers or work in some mills,
which wasn’t much better.
Cite evidence from the charts that the southern
economy diversified following the Civil War.
Write a paragraph summary – 3-5 sentences – to
answer the following:
What were some of the problems,
struggles, solutions or proposals the
nation dealt with in rebuilding the union?
You may use the Main Ideas for Section 3 (as listed on
