this a list of examples of jim crow laws, which were state and local laws in the united states enacted between 1876 and 1965. jim crow laws existed mainly in the south and originated from the black codes that were passed from 1865 to 1866 and from prewar segregation on railroad cars in northern cities. the laws sprouted up in the late 19th century after reconstruction and lasted until the 1960s. they mandated de jure segregation in all public facilities, with a supposedly "separate but equal" status for americans of african descent. in reality, this led to treatment that was usually inferior to that provided for americans of european descent, systematizing a number of economic, educational and social disadvantages.

the phrase "jim crow law" can be found as early as 1892 in the title of a "new york times" article about louisiana requiring segregated railroad cars. the origin of the phrase "jim crow" has often been attributed to "jump jim crow", a song-and-dance caricature of blacks performed by white actor thomas d. rice in blackface, which first surfaced in 1832 and was used to satirize andrew jackson's populist policies. as a result of rice's fame, "jim crow" by 1838 had become a pejorative expression meaning "negro". when southern legislatures passed laws of racial segregation directed against blacks at the end of the 19th century, these statutes became known as jim crow laws.
