Explanation:

Plessy v. Ferguson is a known case in 1896 in american history.it is a case in which the Supreme Court ruled that segregated, "equal but separate" public accommodations for blacks and whites did not violate the 14th amendment and this ruling made segregation legal. Some railroad companies were on Plessy's side due to the fact that they paid too much to maintain separate cars.

The Supreme Court's ruling in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) shows the "separate but equal" doctrine, which gives a legal justification for racial segregation in the ensuing decades.The Court in its reasoning on mandating separate facilities for whites and blacks was fine as long as those facilities were equal;shows and established the "separate but equal" doctrine that would sanction policies of racial segregation in the South for decades to come.it believe that there is a social hierarchy of race that cannot be dissolved through legislative action or judicial decision.

Plessy had a black and white ancestors. He was known to be 1/8th black.
