Jim Crow laws were enacted and enforced by Democratic Party-controlled state governments across the South after Reconstruction ended in 1877. These statutes imposed racial segregation and disenfranchised Black voters through poll taxes, literacy tests, and other measures.
Republicans led Reconstruction, passing the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to abolish slavery and guarantee citizenship and voting rights. Southern Democrats, who regained power post-1877, built the Jim Crow system. The parties realigned decades later on civil rights.
