Legally enforced segregation refers to the system of laws and regulations that require the separation of individuals or groups based on characteristics such as race, ethnicity, or religion. This form of segregation was commonly practiced in the United States during the Jim Crow era, where laws mandated racial segregation in public facilities, schools, housing, and other areas of society. This system institutionalized discrimination and inequality, and was eventually abolished through the Civil Rights Movement and legal challenges to segregation laws.
