Praxis 5941 Practice Test Practice Question
After the Civil War, which of the following was an effort by Southern state governments to reimplement some of the constraints that slavery had previously imposed on African Americans?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Southern state governments implemented Jim Crow laws to reestablish racial segregation and limit the rights of African Americans after the Civil War. These laws mandated separate facilities and services, effectively enforcing a system of inequality reminiscent of slavery's restrictions.
Lynching (A) was a violent act used to intimidate and control African Americans, but it was not a formal law or government policy. The Great Migration (C) refers to the movement of African Americans to northern cities seeking better opportunities, not a reimplementation of constraints. Plessy v. Ferguson (D) was a Supreme Court case that upheld segregation laws, but it was not a direct effort by state governments to impose constraints like Jim Crow laws did.
