There were no "separate but equal" laws for slaves. Slaves were considered unequal and were treated as such.
The laws requiring racially "separate but equal" public accommodations are called Jim Crow laws, and developed in reaction to the Civil War and Reconstruction. After the slaves were emancipated, the United States ratified the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution, outlawing slavery, attempting to create equal protection for African-Americans, and granting African-American men the right to vote. Many white people opposed equality for former slaves, and felt threatened by the new social order. Jim Crow laws were a desperate attempt to keep African-Americans "in their place," because many whites considered them inferior.

Laws that did not follow our constitution at the time rung, "separate but equal." However, life was anything but equal during the mid-1900s - the fact in itself that things were separate meant that things were unequal. Think: if people are equal, why the need to separate them?Many whites during this time period did not approve of Jim Crow laws, but many of the same people did not speak up. In that era, people that did not follow the plan, were fired from their jobs, their friends left them, no one would speak to them, and worst of all, they (both Caucasians and African Americans) were often beaten and/or murdered. Almost all African Americans during the time felt that Jim Crow laws were unfair.
