After the American Civil War most states in the South passed anti-African American legislation. These became known as Jim Crow laws. This included laws that discriminated against African Americans with concern to attendance in public schools and the use of facilities such as restaurants, theaters, hotels, cinemas and public baths. Trains and buses were also segregated and in many states marriage between whites and African American people.

Is there any proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran? - 0 views
-
The situation of Syria is not just due to internal affairs but is also affected by the Arab civil war. The consequence was the proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia. The main supplier of money and arms to the Syrian army is Saudi Arabia and Qatar. They Syrian army was supported by the Saud's in the golf wars of the 1990's. Syria also got financial help from Saudi Arabia and benefited from them a lot. But after the assassination of the leader of the Saudi Arabia and after the war was ended between Hezbollah and Israel, Syria joined hands with Iran. The reason of the proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia is also that the Sauds are totally against the Shias of Iran and they know that Syria is helping Iran to conduct all the affairs and also the support for the economic sanctions given by the US. Syria is also economically helping Iran and which was not tolerated by the Sauds. They want to destroy Iran and they do not want to see it like a free and independent state. The gulf countries also opposed the allied friendship of Syria with Iran and they also started many political and social campaigns to stop Syria from helping Iran.

This web site documents how Europe is founded upon a common ancient matrix, which is consequential to the rigid boundaries, to continuous migrations and interactions and to a plurality of cultural roots and imprints.

This defines the Jim Crow Laws

Jim Crow laws were tested in 1896 by Homer Plessey when convicted in Louisiana for riding in a white only railway car. Plessey took his case to the Supreme Court but the justices voted in favour of the Louisiana Court. William B. Brown established the legality of segregation as long as facilities were kept "separate but equal". Only one of the justices, John Harlan, disagreed with this decision.
