The Jim Crow laws were state and local laws in the United States enacted between 1876 and 1965. They mandated de jure racial segregation in all public facilities in Southern states of the former Confederacy, with a supposedly separate but equal status for black Americans. The separation led to treatment, financial support and accommodations that were usually inferior to those provided for white Americans, systematizing a number of economic, educational and social disadvantages. Some examples of Jim Crow laws are the segregation of public schools, public places, and public transportation, and the segregation of restrooms, restaurants, and drinking fountains for whites and blacks. The US military was also segregated. State-sponsored school segregation was declared unconstitutional in 1954. The remaining Jim Crow laws were overruled in the 60s.

The jingling Johnny was used in European military bands in the 19th century and survives, somewhat altered, in Germany.
