The Sharecropping System in the South • Once slaves were forcibly
freed by the U.S. government, Southerners were still in need of laborers to work in their fields
• Plantation owners in the south developed a system called sharecropping in which wealthy land owners rented out land to poor freedmen and whites

The Sharecropping System in the South • Sharecropping left poor
freedmen and whites in a cycle of debt that could never be repaid
• Freedmen and poor whites paid for the land with a portion of the crops that they grew

Jim Crow Laws force segregation • Jim Crow Laws were racist
laws like Black Codes that specifically legalized segregation of Blacks and Latinos from Whites
• Many of these laws were not overturned until the 1960s
• Even though segregation is no longer legal, many communities, schools, and opportunities continue to be segregated by default

Plessy v. Ferguson • African Americans filed
lawsuits to challenge segregation created by Jim Crow Laws
• In 1896, in the case of Plessy v. Ferguson, the Supreme Court ruled that segregation was legal as long as facilities and services were for blacks and whites were equal
