"Apartheid" in Afrikaans is a loose tranlation of 'to keep apart'.

school,buses and jobs. I disagree these were known as Jim crow laws. Abraham Lincoln ( The Great Emancipator ) did not provide nor ( initially ) see people of African origin as equals But he did abhor any form of slavery. these "Jim Crow" laws were enacted after the demise of Lincoln to prevent the potential for them to become perceived as equals. I placed parenthasees around the word initially because allegedly John Wilks Booth decided to assinate Lincoln because he overheard him talking during at a public event about all free men having the right to vote. or something like that. Sorry but my history is a bit rusty.
