The Plessy v. Ferguson case was indeed heard in lower courts before reaching the Supreme Court. Initially, Homer Plessy was arrested for violating Louisiana's Separate Car Act, leading to a trial in a local court, where he was found guilty. His case was subsequently appealed to the Louisiana Supreme Court, which upheld the lower court's decision, leading Plessy to challenge the ruling at the federal level. Ultimately, the Supreme Court's 1896 decision established the "separate but equal" doctrine, legitimizing racial segregation.
The immediate effect of the Plessy v. Ferguson decision was to legalize segregation and establish the "separate but equal" doctrine in the United States. This decision upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation laws for public facilities.
