DSST Civil War and Reconstruction

Answer: B - Jim Crow laws were local and state statutes passed in the South near the end of the Reconstruction Era that established various methods of racial segregation in many legal and social settings. They were considered de jure, or de facto by law, methods of separating people based on race. Anti-miscegenation laws, which prohibited interracial intimate relationships (chiefly marriage), existed during the same period as Jim Crow laws and had similar, albeit more specific, goals, but anti-miscegenation laws existed before and after the Jim Crow Era. Black Codes pre-dated Jim Crow laws, though they were somewhat similar.
