Also, you had more "ghettoization" outside of the South, ironically. There was little or no de jure segregation outside the South, but a huge about of de facto segregation.
It was not uncommon, in many southern locations, for a small shotgun house owned or rented by a black family to be within sight of, or even next to, a mansion of a white person.
Hence, a friend of mine, who is black, had a 5th great grandfather who was literally the next door neighbor of John Tyler. (Tyler, while a Senator, helped the ancestor get a pension for service in the American Revolution.)
