Answer 4 out of 5 questions correctly.

After the Civil War, many states tried to recreate the legal, economic, and social separation of the races that had existed under slavery. The system of laws and practices that enforced segregation, or separation of people of different races, from the 1870s to the 1960s is called Jim

Crow.

In the 1896 legal case Plessy v.

Ferguson,

the Supreme Court allowed states to create separate public facilities—such as train stations, libraries, beaches, and schools—for white and African American people as long as they were "separate but equal." Look at the information about segregated schools under Jim Crow. Then answer the question.

Images of a white school

These images show the outside and auditorium at Farmville High School in Virginia, which was a school for white students. The building was well maintained, with a large fenced area in back, and it had an auditorium with fixed seats.

A large, well-kept school building with a fenced yard and a neatly mowed lawn.

A large space with a balcony. Many theater chairs face a stage.

Based on the above information, which statement describes results of Jim Crow segregation?

Even though Plessy required segregated schools to be equal, those provided to African American students were usually older and less well equipped.

Schools for African American students received more money than those for white students and had better facilities.

African American schools tended to use older buildings than white schools but had the same equipment and materials inside.

The Jim Crow system created segregated schools for Black and white students that were usually of equal quality.
