Anti-miscegenation laws were a part of American law since before the United States was established and remained so until ruled unconstitutional in 1967 by the U.S Supreme  Cort in Loving v.Virginia . The term miscegenation was the American Civil War, by American journalists to discredit the abolitionist movement by stirring up debate over the prospect of interracial marriage after the abolition of slavery. In those of the original Thirteen Colonies that became states and enacted such laws, they were enacted as state law in the early 18th century; a century or more after the.complete racialism of slavery.

Answer:

Mississippi laws make practically illegal the racial equality since they wanted to keep an economic, moral and social white superiority.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the civil rights started to demand equality to all races, many southern states did not agree with this law, and decided to have their own state rules about the interaction between white and black people, being one of the most important things to make illegal the multiracial marriages and the procreation of children in this context.
