a) the presidential election of 1872

b) passage of the fourteenth amendment

c) the end of reconstruction

d) repeal of black code law

The correct answer is C. The end of Reconstruction contributed to the implementation of Jim Crow Laws.

Explanation:

After the Civil War, which freed blacks from slavery, the federal government took measures to ensure their rights (the passing of the 13th, 14th and 15th constitutional amendments, and the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and 1875). In response, southern Democrats adopted local laws that severely restricted the rights of the black minority, as well as Indians who refused to be deported to Oklahoma and remained under the jurisdiction of the government in the southeastern states. These laws became known as the Jim Crow laws.

The legislation formally equated black and white Americans, but mandated a separation of the publicly accessible areas into which black and white Americans could travel, such as schools, hospitals, buses and restaurants. In effect, the laws meant that the black population group was subjected to a number of disadvantages compared to the white population group.
