which was an effect of the supreme court case plessy v. fegurson

Answer 1

One of the main effects of the Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson was the establishment of the "separate but equal" doctrine, which allowed for racial segregation in public facilities as long as they were deemed to be equal in quality. This decision further legalized and institutionalized racial segregation in the United States, particularly in the South. The "separate but equal" doctrine led to the passage of Jim Crow laws and the widespread segregation of public spaces, including schools, restrooms, transportation, and housing. This decision and its effects further marginalized African Americans and perpetuated racial discrimination and inequality for several decades until it was eventually overturned with the Brown v. Board of Education decision in 1954.
