In what ways did the boundaries of American freedom grow narrower in the 1890s?

In the 1890s, the boundaries of American freedom grew narrower due to increased social and economic inequalities, particularly for marginalized groups. The rise of Jim Crow laws institutionalized racial segregation and disenfranchised African Americans in the South. Additionally, labor unrest and the suppression of workers' rights, exemplified by violent strikes and government interventions, limited the freedoms of the working class. The era also saw a rise in nativism and restrictive Immigration policies that curtailed the opportunities for immigrants seeking a better life in America.
