I just think that less government intervention would have allowed citizens and businesses to make their own decisions.

I generally agree that, political rights aside, government is a poor way to achieve racial harmony. My point is simply that Jim Crow was a disaster precisely because it was government intervention, on the side of mandatory segregation.

I should add that I oppose the anti-discrimination laws of the 1960s and beyond for the same reasons I would object to Jim Crow. Both are immoral and unwise restrictions on other people’s property rights.
