The correct answer is:

It reaffirmed and strengthened Jim Crow laws in the South.

The Supreme Court's decision in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) established the "separate but equal" doctrine, which upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation laws for public facilities, thereby reinforcing the legal basis for Jim Crow laws in Southern states.
