Segregation in the United States began after the Civil War and the Reconstruction Act of 1867. The Civil Rights Act of 1875 actually forbade racial segregation in accommodations, but soon collapsed because of progressivism. Jim Crow segregation laws began to be passed and by 1910, full segregation was law in most Southern states.

What is segregation de facto?
Racial segregation, especially in public schools, that happens "by fact" rather than by legal requirement. For example, often the concentration of African-Americans in certain neighborhoods produces neighborhood schools that are predominantly Black, or segregated in fact (de facto), although not by law (de jure). De facto segregation means that there is, in reality, segregation. Consider racial segregation of schools in the U.S. There was a time when some states had legally mandated segregation -- separate schools for Black and White students. This is no longer the case. However, some places still have de facto segregation where certain schools are virtually all White and others are virtually all Black. This could happen because the Blacks of a district live in the same area and use the same local school. And they might live in the same area because it is where they can afford the housing, or because whites in a formerly mixed neighborhood have moved away.
