RE: Adsactly Education - Georgia History Continued
Ahhhhh Nancy. I apologize. Jim Crow was the name applied to the repressive laws that started being passed just after the Civil War. It is a really broad term for quite a specific situation. It is essentially any law or practice that prohibits a group of people from enjoying the same rights as another group. I first learned to hate the term as applied to baseball. The Negro league was commonly called the Jim Crow league. It was just an awful time in our country.
I do believe I may have violated that law a time or two. Glad I didn't live in Georgia at the time...
