The Lost Cause myth and Jim Crow laws together sustained racial inequality post-Civil War. The Lost Cause romanticized the pre-war South, downplaying slavery's brutality and blaming the Confederacy’s loss on the North’s advantages. This narrative bolstered Jim Crow laws, enforcing segregation and stripping African Americans of rights. Groups like the United Daughters of the Confederacy promoted this distorted history, which fueled white supremacy and hindered equality efforts. Loopholes in the 13th Amendment, exploited through laws like the Vagrancy Act, furthered forced labor, disproportionately affecting Black Americans. This legacy of systemic oppression endured until civil rights reforms began dismantling segregation in the 1960s.
