Jim crow laws
Jim Crow Laws granted African American men the right to vote through the fifteenth amendment. Jim Crow Laws affected both African Americans and Caucasians. African Americans were mainly affected in unpleasant ways and a few Caucasians too. Most Caucasians were fond of the way of life under Jim Crow Laws, but some white people thought it was not right because they felt African Americans were equal to them. African Americans did not like the way of life and wanted to do things to fix it, but usually when they tried to fix it they suffered severe consequences. Even some Caucasians were murdered by their own people trying to help the African Americans gain equality and respect. Jim Crow Laws basically prohibited the right for blacks and whites to share anything. It caused a lot of heartache for many people and all they wanted was to be treated equal as stated in the Constitution. There were many very important people during the time of the Great Migration to the North. Many of these people influenced the migration and some of those actually helped move along the migration. All of this took place during the early 1900's. Approximately 40,000 - 70,000 people migrated and left their roots behind.
