Jim Crow laws were a system of racial segregation and discrimination in the United States. After the Civil War, African - Americans gained certain freedoms (such as through the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments). Jim Crow laws were designed to undermine and limit these freedoms. For example, they restricted voting rights (through literacy tests, poll taxes etc. which disproportionately affected African - Americans), limited access to public facilities (like separate and unequal schools, transportation etc.).
Immigrant workers were not the main target of Jim Crow laws. The 12th Amendment is about the Electoral College and not related to the purpose of Jim Crow laws. While African - Americans were often subject to various forms of oppression including forced migration in some cases (like through violence and economic coercion), the overall institutional purpose of Jim Crow laws was more about limiting freedoms rather than specifically forcing them to new living spaces as a primary, overarching goal.
