Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) declared state segregation laws constitutional, as long as African-Americans were provided "separate but equal" facilities. Plessy represented a continued erosion of the Fourteenth Amendment by allowing Jim Crow laws to flourish, particularly in the South.
These laws permitted many whites who felt threatened by emancipation to maintain a delusion of superiority. The act of segregation made African-Americans appear inferior and encouraged racism to continue unchecked for decades.
