Bonjour, pouvez-vous m'aider s'il vous plait à corriger mon texte?
Jim crow law
The term "Jim Crow" is the name of a black character in an old song: jump jim crow. Thomas Dartmouth, an English immigrant who was living in the USA, wrote this song.
But Since 1837, we used Jim Crow to speak about Social segegation .
Jim crow law is the nickname of a lot of lows passed in the south America between 1876 and 1964. The citizens were separated in social classes and just equal in these classes.
Segregation was at school, in the bus or in the square.
Jim Crow Law foresaw the physical separation of black people from write people.
. The "separate but equal" standard established by the Supreme Court in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) lent high judicial support to segregation.
Ex example about the social discrimination in America:
Montgomery bus operators were supposed to separate people into two sections: whites up front and blacks in back
A few black persons protested, notably Rosa Parks, things began to change.
On December 1955, Parks refused to give her seat to a white man. She was arrested, and incarcerated.
By the 1960s, the Supreme Court, and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, invalidated the majority of Jim Crow laws. It was the end of “Jim Craw lows”.
Merci d'avance.
thank you

Bonjour
Dans l'ensemble, c'est pas mal, mais:
Première remarque: faites attention à vos majuscules: elles ne sont pas toujours mises à bon escient. A d'autres endroits, elles manquent.
Deuxièmement: votre orthographe du même mot se retrouve sous différentes formes (law, segregation).
Troisièmement: l'anglais n'utilise pratiquement pas de virgules. Enlevez-les, sauf dans le cas d'une relative non-déterminative, comme par ex. votre 2ème phrase.
The term "Jim Crow" is the name of a black character in an old song: Jump Jim Crow. Thomas Dartmouth, an English immigrant who was living (pourquoi la forme progressive?) in the USA, wrote this song.
>> je trouve que cette dernière phrase sonnerait mieux si elle était sous forme de relative et à la voix passive: …une ancienne chanson (qui fut) écrite par …
But since 1837 we used (quel temps utilise-t-on avec 'since'?) Jim Crow to speak about social segegation (orthographe).
Jim Crow law is the nickname of a lot of lows (orthographe) passed in
Segregation was at (autre preposition, indiquant le bâtiment, et non l'emploi qui en est fait) schools, in
Jim Crow Law foresaw the physical separation of black people from write (orthographe) people.
The "separate but equal" standard established by the Supreme Court in Plessy v. Ferguson (il ne manque pas un mot? comme procès?) (1896) lent high judicial support to segregation.
Montgomery bus operators were supposed to separate people into two sections: whites
A few black persons (mauvais pluriel) protested, notably Rosa Parks. Things began to change.
On (mauvaise préposition) December 1955, Parks refused to give her seat to a white man. She was arrested and incarcerated.
By the 1960s the Supreme Court and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 invalidated the majority of Jim Crow laws. It was the end of the “Jim Crow lows (orthographe)”.
Bon travail.

Hello!Just one point of clarification. Jim Crow laws were "...passed in the southern states (of the USA) between 1876 and 1964."
South America is a completely different country altogether.

Hello notrepere
Mais oui, bien sûr, et autant pour moi. Trop préoccupée par les majuscules, je suis passée à côté d'une grosse faute de géographie...
Have a nice day.
