No, the Plessy v. Ferguson decision did not end segregation in the South; rather, it upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation under the "separate but equal" doctrine. This ruling, decided in 1896, legitimized and reinforced segregation laws, leading to widespread discrimination against African Americans. It wasn't until the 1954 Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education that the legal foundation for segregation was challenged and ultimately overturned.
