The Jim Crow laws, which enforced racial segregation, were prevalent in the South until the mid-1950s, leading to the separation of Blacks and Whites. On the other hand, protective legislation hindered women's progress toward parity with men by legally enforcing gender-based discrimination in the workplace, making it the best choice. The other options are not accurate as they do not reflect the historical reality of the era.
