Jim Crow and Plessy v. Ferguson

During the reconstruction period, the federal government expanded the vote to southern blacks and provided similar protection for black citizens. However, due to the failure of rebuilding, white supremacists began using violence and intimidation to oppress blacks. When Caucasans regain control of the southern state government, they begin to enact legislation to suppress blacks through apartheid and deprivation of rights.

In the Civil Rights Act of 1875, it was stipulated that all races were treated equally in public places, but by the Supreme Court ruling in 1883, it was clarified that this law would not apply to individuals or businesses. The confusion about the validity of apartheid continues the challenge of Homer Plessy

In 1892, in the planned civil disobedience, Plessy took a train at New Orleans and sat on a car reserved for Caucasians. One eighth of the blacks were categorized as black by the law of Louisiana state and refused to resign in order to bring about litigation on the legality of apartheid. In 1896, after years of trial appeal, the Supreme Court decided that "single but equality" is fair and did not infringe the 14 th revision. This sentence shows the federal government and the North's unwillingness to challenge the southern blacks apartheid and repression.

After 1896's pressy vs Flughson's decision, isolation became more quiet through a series of southern laws and social practices known as "Jim Crow". Schools, theaters, restaurants, transportation are isolated. Polls, literacy requirements, and grandfather provisions not only hinder black voting, they also make it ineligible for inauguration or inauguration to the jury. "Independent but equality" Jim Crow was not challenged by Brown v. Board of Education and the Civil Rights Act of 1954, 1954.

This decision reversed Plessy V Ferguson case in 1896, and Jim Crow Laws was admitted. Pressess V. Ferguson is essentially the beginning of a "separate but equal" ideology. Despite the success of "legitimate" discrimination, "the National Association for the Improvement of Colored People" does not deal with "de facto" discrimination that will result in the abolition of racial separation in public schools It is important to remember. Another important example of how successful NAACP in the case of Brown is the case of Morgan V. Virginia State in 1946 that attempts to end the isolation of public transportation.

In the US Supreme Court's Pressy versus Ferguson's ruling, the Jim Crow law was integrated in 1896. Homer Plessy believes that the independent car law in Louisiana violated the 14th amendment. Ferguson believes that the 14th amendment will guarantee legal equality, not white social equality. The Supreme Court ruled that the province could establish separate facilities for the colored people as long as the provinces have equal consideration. This "equality and independence" policy continued until the south until 1954 until Pressess v. Ferguson was overthrown by Brown 's highest education board.

In Jim Crow law, there was a legal basis for Presss versus Ferguson's ruling by the US Supreme Court in 1896. The ruling states that if citizens are considered equal, they will be classified constitutively by ethnic groups. The judgment legalized apartheid and introduced the legal concept of "separation, but equality". In the southern part of the 1950s, African American and white children attended different schools. According to the "single but equality" ruling, African-American students and white schools should be equal. But in most isolated states, the White School receives much more money than an African American school. In other words, the White School has new teaching materials, bigger classrooms, and higher income teachers than African American schools. In many cases, these schools are often crowded and need renovation
