2. W.E.B. Dubois and Booker T. Washington offered two very different approaches to

combating the beginnings of Jim Crow rule in the South. How did the Jim Crow system

develop and what was it like? How did it affect American society and Americans as a whole?

How did Dubois and Washington understand white supremacy? What solutions did they

offer? What were the benefits and challenges of each stance? Why were both options so

attractive to large numbers of people? Which do you agree with more?

The Jim Crow Laws are very important in the history of the United States of the America,

and these laws have designed and considered for creating the segregation white and black people.

These are the laws that have increased the racial discrimination and other issues between the white

Americans and black Africans in the history of the United States of America. During the 1800s it

was very common thinking, and ideas that the black people are only here for doing the slave work

and white people have superiority on them due to their color and race.

W.E.B. Dubois and Booker T. Washington have presented different view like the Dubois

works for increasing the black empowerment and Washington has presented the gradualist political

strategy as a solution for Jim Crow laws. These are the approaches that can be used to overcome

the challenges and other discriminatory practices of the society. They have presented their views

and concept by understanding the working structure and laws of the White Supremacy (Press,

1863). These were the common thinking, and common experiences that were faced by the black

people in history and Jim Crow laws has strengthened the discriminatory forces and the difference

between the white and black people in the society. These laws emerged in the 1800s and in the

early 1900s. There were different legal, social and official restrictions that were put on the black

people because they were treated as the second race of the United States of America.

“I agree with the solution of Booker T. Washington because it can bring the black people into

empowerment and they can work for their rights. This is because it is the politics that were mainly

culpable for the treatment of the black race as inferior and only through dealing with these politics

will the solution to this problem be found.”

It was the official system and procedure that was introduced for separating the black people

from white people. It was included in the State constitution and put a restriction on common civil

rights, social rights and political representation of the black people. This law has badly affected

the lives of black people (African-American) and of the white people as well. the effect of Jim

crow laws can be directly studied on the lives of black people because they have lost all of their

rights on an economic level and on the social level and they only have to spend their lives like the

slaves that have no rights to live. For example, the black people could not commute with the whites

as they were thought to be carriers of disease and this was one of the justifications for the

segregation.

After the implication of Jim Crow laws at the official level in the United States of America,

the lives of black people were deteriorated, and they were living their lives as the slaves. The black

children were not allowed to get an education with the white children, and they were not even

allowed to work with white people. On the basis of these laws, the black people were living like

the slaves. The impact of Jim Crow laws was not limited to the restriction of black people from

different social, economical and political activities but they war facing direct torture and other

negative practices at different places.
