The Jim Crow Laws were laws that segregated colored people from using the same tools or being in the same room as whites. Due to that, colored people had different utilities and therefore their utilities were less cared for than whites, meaning they were not cleaned, fixed, or washed.
The Jim Crow Laws also prevented the blacks from getting all the benefits that the whites had. Jobs would be hard for African Americans to get because of the laws. More over, there would be signs like we only cater for whites or there would be jobs for whites only.
