@maddss Welcome to OpenStudy! I hope you enjoy your stay here. If you need help with anything feel free to PM me. Or contact someone with a purple Ⓐ. Now regarding your question: "The purpose of Jim Crow laws was to introduce and maintain segregation." "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 U.S. military was also segregated." -Wikipedia Source: http://goo.gl/FpkoF From the excerpt that I've given you you can see the answer to your question is true. But a better worded question would be: The purpose of Jim Crow laws was to introduce and maintain segregation in the states. For 'Jim Crow laws' are state laws, they weren't national.
