How was the treatment of black Southerners in 1890 different from and similar to their treatment in 1850?

Just wondering. I know about the Jim Crow laws etc., but can someone give me a clear answer?
How was the treatment of black Southerners in 1890 different from and similar to their treatment in 1850?
Similarities: 1850 - subject to direct white ruling class control limiting education, employment and freedom of movement by the control of slavery, 1890 - subject to indirect white ruling class control limiting education, employment and freedom of movement by way of Jim Crow laws passed after the Emancipation Proclamation.





Differences in 1890 - blacks can own property if they have the means. Blacks can legally marry.

i do not know.but i did read about a 'black southerner',as you call them. He was a WW2 Veteran ,a Soldier,who served in Europe in 1944 ,i think it was?,who,on returning home to the good ol'South, of the US of A,was attacked by racsists, and they gouged out his eyes!.this horror in 1940's America!.What do think about that?
