Jim Crow

Racism was seen as a form of social Darwinism

Social Darwinism believes in the premise of the existence of societies superior to others.

In this condition, those who excel physically and intellectually must and eventually become the rulers.

On the other hand, the others - less able - would cease to exist because they were unable to follow the evolutionary line of society.

Thus, they would go extinct following the principle of natural selection of the Theory of Evolution.
