<em>Plessy v. Ferguson</em> (1896) was a Supreme Court decision that upheld the principle of "separate but equal" in regard to racial segregation. The Court's decision said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.
In the decades after the Civil War, states in the South began to pass laws that sought to keep white and black society separate. In the 1880s, a number of state legislatures began to pass laws requiring railroads to provide separate cars for passengers who were black. At the heart of the case that became <em>Plessy v. Ferguson</em> was an 1890 law passed in Louisiana in 1890 that required railroads to provide "separate railway carriages for the white and colored races.”
In 1892, Homer Plessy, who was 1/8 black, bought a first class train railroad ticket, took a seat in the whites only section, and then informed the conductor that he was part black. He was removed from the train and jailed. He argued for his civil rights before Judge John Howard Ferguson and was found guilty. His case went all the way to the Supreme Court which at that time upheld the idea of "separate but equal" facilities.
Several decades later, the 1896 <em>Plessy v. Ferguson </em>decision was overturned. <em>Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka</em>, decided by the US Supreme Court in 1954, extended civil liberties to all Americans in regard to access to education. The "separate but equal" principle of <em>Plessy v. Ferguson</em> had been applied to education as it had been to transportation. In the case of <em>Brown v. Board of Education</em>, that standard was challenged and defeated. Segregation was shown to create inequality, and the Supreme Court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

Explanation:
Economically disadvantaged White people did not feel the same as enslaved people because they felt enslaved people were beneath them.
<h3>What was the attitude of poor White people to slavery?</h3>
Even though owning enslaved people was something that was limited to rich Whites, poor Whites in the South supported the practice.
This was as a result of the need for the Poor Whites to always feel in some sort of position of power over African Americans even if their lives weren't much better.

<span>Assuming that this is referring to the same list of options that was posted before with this question, <span>the correct response would be the "Great Migration," since this was a mass exodus of African Americans from the rural south to the more industrialized north, where there were many more job opportunities in cities. </span></span>
I think that the answer is C. Hope this helps
