They were the successors to the black codes essentially. Which were little more than an attempt to keep slavery after the civil war. The South was successful for a few years until then extreme wing of the Republican party forced the President to go into the South with the military and force them reconstruction. Once they left in the late 19th Century the Southern States came up with the concept of a separate but "equal" doctrine. The South was ruled by the Democratic party at the time, so they are the main ones to blame. Although some blame the Republicans for not forcing them to strip the Jim Crow laws as well.
Jim Crow laws and rules still exist... Latest example is penalizing Asian students at Harvard... Whatever justification, it's still Jim Crow... Harvard doesn't want Asians being too plentiful to upset their white alumni donors...
Jim Crow laws were a real bad joke, to be nice. Dinging a person for just their skin color; really? Seriously?
PWT and hood rats are a "culture", of sorts.
