Final answer:

The final form of the Civil Rights Act of 1875 omitted provisions that would enforce racial integration in public accommodations, leading to the establishment of state-enforced segregation laws known as Jim Crow laws.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the final form of the Civil Rights Act of 1875, provisions that would have mandated racial integration in public accommodations such as hotels, theaters, and transportation were deleted before its passage.

These provisions were initially part of the draft to prevent states from enforcing laws mandating segregation beyond schools, but were later removed.

This omission allowed for the rise of state-enforced segregation, known as Jim Crow laws, by the late 1880s, despite the federal law that aimed to protect civil rights between 1875 and its nullification by the Supreme Court in 1883.
