The existing laws allowing "separate but equal" public accommodations were unchallenged, although the system of segregation by race was inherently unjust and unequal. The emancipation of the Civil War had not immediately bestowed full citizenship to slaves, instead being replaced with another system of lawful disenfranchisement.
The US Supreme Court declined to interpret the Fourteenth Amendment as prohibiting segregation.
Plessy v. Ferguson, (1896) was later reversed in the case of Brown v. Board of Education, (1954).
