Answer 1

If you have to pick one of the choices listed, it would have to be A. However, the answer is more complicated than that. Jim Crow laws were a systematic method of oppression enforcing stereotype meant to make blacks feel inferior to whites and to help whites feel superior to black. Though it might be said that the ultimate goal was indeed to prevent blacks from exercising the federally upheld right to vote.
