The main goal of Jim Crow laws was to enforce racial segregation and to maintain white supremacy in the southern United States after the Civil War. These laws were enacted by state and local governments from the late 19th century through the mid-20th century. They mandated segregation in all public facilities and aspects of life including schools, transportation, restrooms, restaurants, and even drinking fountains. The term "Jim Crow" is derived from a black character in minstrel shows that portrayed racist stereotypes about African Americans.
