I believe it was the Jim Crowe Laws established in the 1800's shortly after Hayes won presidency.
The legal codes that established the system of segregation in the United States were primarily the Jim Crow laws. These laws enforced racial segregation in public facilities, schools, transportation, and housing, as well as restricted voting rights for African Americans. The Supreme Court decision in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) upheld the constitutionality of segregation under the "separate but equal" doctrine.
Segregation was not specifically established as law in 1786 in the United States. However, racial segregation became institutionalized through laws such as Jim Crow laws in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, enforcing racial discrimination and segregation in public facilities, transportation, education, and housing. This legal framework upheld a system of white supremacy and racial hierarchy.

Marbury v. Madison established judicial review in the United States legal system.
De jure segregation refers to segregation that is imposed by law, policies, or government action. It is the legal separation of individuals or groups based on their race, ethnicity, or other characteristics. This form of segregation was prevalent in the United States prior to the civil rights movement.
The statement is an example of a historical legal precedent, specifically highlighting the doctrine of "separate but equal" established by the Supreme Court in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896). This ruling upheld state laws that legalized racial segregation, reinforcing systemic discrimination. It reflects the legal justification for segregation in the United States until it was eventually overturned by Brown v. Board of Education in 1954.

The doctrine that ruled segregation was legal as long as facilities were equal is known as "separate but equal," established by the U.S. Supreme Court in the 1896 case Plessy v. Ferguson. This landmark decision upheld state laws that enforced racial segregation in public facilities, asserting that as long as the separate facilities for African Americans and whites were equal in quality, segregation did not violate the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause. This principle was later challenged and ultimately overturned by the Brown v. Board of Education decision in 1954.
