About this ebook
The Civil War brought an end to the institution of slavery in the US. Despite slavery becoming illegal, racism persisted and the legacy of slavery continued through injustices created by the Jim Crow laws. These laws, which legalized segregation, limited the rights and freedom of Black people. The Jim Crow laws remained in practice for decades, but civil rights activists never stopped fighting for equality. Read this book to learn about the Jim Crow era and its lasting legacy.
