The answer would be (D.) all the above. It was hard for African-Americans to find jobs with the laws for them having only certain jobs and not allowing them to go to certain schools for their education. Many African-Americans weren't also allowed to own certain things and even for the property they owned would have been stolen, destroyed, or the would be murdered over it.  The Jim Crow Laws wouldn't allow this and weren't able to live their lives happy.
