Answer 1

The correct response is "to enforce the policy of segregation". Jim Crow laws were a series of state and local laws enacted in the southern states, including Georgia, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These laws were aimed at enforcing racial segregation and discrimination against African Americans.
