No just different.
No, it was more restrictive on behaviour.
Examples?
Throughout american history...
Schools were segregated
Anal sex was illegal
Interracial sex was illegal
Interracial marriage was illegal
It was illegal for blacks or women to own certain things (property)
It was illegal for women to vote
It was illegal for blacks to vote
Bad Language is restricted (to this day)on the airwaves
Elvis/rock and roll/etc etc was considered provacative/taboo
Corporal punishment was allowed in schools
Just a small bunch there.
