How did the policies of South Carolina's political leadership establish a system of racial segregation?

1) Marriages between African Americans were not recognized by the court system of South Carolina.

2) Laws that were enacted restricted many aspects of freedmen's lives, including work, travel, and education.

3) By code, African American children could not attend any formal school, but could be educated at home.

4) African Americans were required by law to leave the state as a condition of their freedom from slavery.
