Best Answer

Assuming you mean racial segregation, that was primarily practiced in the South, although some in the North were known to be segregationists.

Actually, the practice of segregation was commonplace throughout the entire US up through much of the 20th century. In this context, "segregation" refers to the social practice of keeping the races separate.

The formal legal mechanisms to enforce segregation were mostly phased out (or never existed) in all states not part of the Old Confederacy between 1880 and 1920. However, informal segregation enforced by social convention still held sway over most of the US up to the 1960s. For instance, a black person entering a diner seen as "whites only" in 1900 New York City would have been refused service and told to leave, but with no legal reprocussions; however, the same situation in Atlanta could have resulted in the black being arrested.
