In the North African Americans were segregated from public places, but Southern states began to pass laws legalizing segregation of the races on a much larger scale. These laws became known as the Jim Crow Laws. These laws separated whites from blacks in almost all public places. African Americans could no longer ride together in the same railroad cars, eat in the same restaurants, share public bathrooms, or even drink from the same drinking fountains. If blacks broke these laws they could be arrested.
