Helloo and good afternoon (currently 3:41 PM.) Sorry for being gone for a while, I'm back! So anyways, I need help with these questions pls, thanks!
What was the result of the Supreme Court decision in Plessy v. Ferguson?
A. "Black Codes" were ruled to be unconstitutional.
B. It permitted the placing of Indians onto reservations.
C. The doctrine of "separate but equal" was allowed to continue.
D. It said that children of all races could attend the same schools.
I chose A, but I'm not sure..
The correct answer is C. The Supreme Court decision in Plessy v. Ferguson allowed for the continuation of the doctrine of "separate but equal," which allowed for segregation based on race in public facilities like schools, transportation, and restaurants. The decision was later overturned by Brown v. Board of Education in 1954.
Ahhh ok, I was actually going to choose that lol. Thanks! :D
