Durin the antibellum south and Jim crow laws, why werent blacks allowed to have firearms?

Jim Crowe largely began after the Reconstruction Period after the Civil War ended. What caused the problem was the end of the Reconstruction Governments. Reconstruction was the first time the Republican Party tried to gain influence in the deep south.

This was done by granting the freed slaves equal voting rights and citizenship with white Southerners. This infuriated the Southerners, who still fanatically supported the Confederacy. The KKK was first formed in this atmosphere in a vain attempt to restore the antebellum South, or at least a close approximation of it.

The Federal Government sent in armies of occupation to police the former Confederacy... However, this cost money and eventually the North grew weary of protecting minority rights in the South, and the Republican and the southern "wing" of the Democratic Party struck a deal. If the Republican Candidate, James A. Garfield wished to be President, the Democrats would allow it, under the condition that "Reconstruction" end in the South.

Garfield choose the Presidency and let Reconstruction end. When Reconstruction ended, Southern Democrats rapidly regained control of the South's state and local governments. Educated to revere the antebellum period, these governments rapidly did their best to try recreate it.

Or at least create a system that would essentially give the freed slaves status equal to the status they held as slaves... Their solution was "Jim Crowe". Separate but "equal". It was entirely a racist measure, but a move expected from the deep south.

The problem is that the North was the group that allowed it. Had the citizens in the Northern States put the same lasting fire into preserving civil rights for African Americans as they had to win the Civil War, the US Supreme Court Ruling which legitimized Jim Crowe would not have gone in the South's favor.

The Southern states passed laws that segregated the whites from the blacks. The U.S. Supreme Court turned a deaf ear on these laws - the laws were called Jim Crow laws. The South did this without any opposition and in 1896 the Supreme Court said in (Plessy v Ferguson 1896) that segregation was okay as long as the blacks were given equal facilities - they were never equal.

This never changed for the blacks until 1954, when Brown v Board of Education said segregation in public schools was illegal. This was the beginning of the Civil Rights movement in mid20th century.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
