The Supreme Court upheld the Louisiana Separate Car Act by stating that segregation was not the same as discrimination.

After the Civil War, the 14th Amendment was passed which outlawed discrimination. Southern states still found ways to discriminate such as:

  • passing segregation laws
  • passing election laws aimed at preventing black people from voting

One of those segregation laws was the Louisiana Separate Car Act which stated that different races must stay in different train cars. The Act ended up in the Supreme Court as Plessy v. Ferguson.

Supreme Court ruled that so long as the cars were the same condition, segregation was not discrimination. In conclusion, the Supreme Court gave legal sanction to segregation in this case and led to decades of open discrimination against Black Americans.
