Jim Crow & Segration
Laws were passed in southern states to make segregation legal in many states. That led to many African Americans getting very mad.That lead to Plessey vs. Ferguson. Plessey said to the supreme court about the 14th Amendment but the 14th Amendment said only not for social rights and that is how plessy lost the case Plessy vs. Ferguson. African Americans hated segregation because they were not getting treated equally.
