Which best describes jim crow?

Jim Crows laws were basically state laws in the South that prevented African Americans from voting and later evolved into segregating blacks and whites from practically everything. I would say it would be answer choices B., C., and D. because they started about a decade before the 14th Amendment was ratified and even with the 14th, 15th, and 16th amendments in place, they continued into the late 1900's without punishment. Black codes were a "nickname" for the laws as well, especially after the 14th Amendment was passed because they couldn't be considered "laws" in print because of the federal government.

The correct answer is: D.

The answer is not B because jim crow was passed before reconstruction. The answer is not C because the laws were after the 14th amendment. The answer is not A because the laws themselves weren't a cartoon they were just based off of it.
