Answer:

The county could deny African Americans the right to attend white schools on the basis of Jim Crow laws.

Step-by-step explanation:

These laws were the state and local decrees which imposed that ethnic discrimination is statutory and legitimate as per the “separate but equal doctrine “which is authorized in the Constitution.

These laws were endorsed by the Supreme Court and from then onward individuals were isolated on the basis of their birth origin and ethnicity. Codes that are obligatory to be followed by the African Americans were strictly adhered to until the civil war in America.

Discrimination was legitimized in conservatories, eateries and in public conveyances etc.
