Jim Crow laws existed mainly in the South and originated from the Black Codes that were enforced 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 those provided for Americans of European descent, systematizing a number of economic, educational and social disadvantages.State-sponsored school segregation was repudiated by the Supreme Court of the United States in 1954 in Brown v.
