In the civil rights case of Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), the US Supreme Court upheld the policy of racial segregation, supporting the "separate but equal" laws. The lower court ruling on segregated public transportation was upheld 7-1, and the precedent held until overruled in 1954 by a ruling on Brown v. Board of Education.

It allowed segregation and the "seperate but equal" concept.
That a white man did not have to honor any law protecting the rights of southern slaves

The Supreme Court decided that "separate but equal" was constitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment and that they would go with it as long as the facilities and accommodations were equal.
