Answer:

The purpose of the Jim Crow laws passed in the South after the end of Reconstruction was to segregate African American rights in the South.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Jim Crow Laws were a series of ordinances and bylaws promulgated generally in the southern states of the United States or in some of their municipalities, between 1876 and 1965. These laws, which constituted the one of the major elements of racial segregation in the United States, distinguished citizens according to their racial affiliations and, while admitting their equality of rights, they imposed segregation of rights in all public places and services.

The largest ones introduced segregation into schools and most public services, including trains and buses.
