The Jim Crow Laws were state and local laws enacted in the Southern and Border States of the United States and enforced between 1876 and 1965. They mandated "separate but equal" status for African Americans. In reality, this led to treatment and accommodations that were almost always inferior to those provided to white Americans.
The most important laws required that public schools, public places and public transportation, like trains and buses, have separate facilities for whites and blacks.
No they were not making things equal for the blacks.

No, JIM CROW LAWS DO NOT make everyone equal. The Jim Crow laws, state and local laws in the Southern and border states of the United States from 1876 to 1964 required racial segregation.
Looks like SOMEONE failed U.S. History.
