Jim Crow laws were legal statutes that enforced racial segregation in the Southern United States, beginning in the late 19th century and lasting until the 1960s. They were justified by the Supreme Court's ruling of 'separate but equal' in the Plessy v. Ferguson case. Ultimately, they were intended to maintain white supremacy and control over African Americans and were abolished through civil rights legislation in the 1960s.
