The Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) upheld the constitutionality of Jim Crow laws, establishing the "separate but equal" doctrine. This ruling legitimized racial segregation in public facilities, asserting that segregation did not violate the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. This decision provided a legal basis for the widespread implementation of discriminatory laws across the Southern United States.
Jim Crow laws circumvented the intent of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments by enforcing racial segregation and discrimination against African Americans, effectively undermining their rights and freedoms. While the 13th Amendment abolished slavery, Jim Crow laws maintained a system of racial oppression through practices like sharecropping and convict leasing. The 14th Amendment's guarantee of equal protection under the law was ignored, as states enacted laws that enforced segregation in public spaces and education. Finally, the 15th Amendment's protection of voting rights was subverted through literacy tests, poll taxes, and other discriminatory practices that disenfranchised Black voters.
