How did African Americans respond to Jim Crow laws?
Basically, they disliked them, but realizing they were in a situation where they had no power, they had to ultimately accept the subordinate position that the Jim Crow laws put them in. Remember, if they went against them, they would be accused of being “uppity Negroes” and could be lynched, and the fact that you had on average, a lynching every other day in the South from 1889-1899 indicated that this was a serious threat. The question lacks a time scope. If we’re talking pre -1955ish, the above works. Post-1955, they organized as part of the Civil Rights movement and fought against them, usually using non-violent tactics.
