Tessa Harris · Answer 1

Relations between blacks and whites changed from the antebellum (before the Civil War) South to the Jim Crow era as Whites and blacks had never mingled in the antebellum South but were free to do so under Jim Crow.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

The periods of antebellum South and Jim Crow laws stand broadly in contradiction to each other. It was through the sharp division of black slaves and white owners that the period of antebellum South experienced broadening of the gulf between the owners and the slaves. In the period of Jim Crow laws, the blacks and the whites had been given the freedom to seek each others cooperation.

In the antebellum South, slaves and their owners often had close ties; under Jim Crow blacks and whites were kept apart.

Explanation:

The Jim Crow Laws were those that imposed racial segregation at the local and state level in the United States of America after 1880. This legislation, enacted after the end of the Reconstruction after the Civil War, aimed to keep black Americans separate from white citizens in public institutions and withhold their voting rights guaranteed by the federal constitution. These laws were enacted in the former Confederate States, then dominated by the Southern White Democrats, and remained in force until 1965.
