Answer:

It made racial segregation legal in the United States.

Explanation:

A shoemaker of New Orleans, Homer Plessy, purchased a rail ticket On June 7, 1892, and sat in a  train reserved for people from the white race. The State Law of Louisiana allowed separate railway cars for African Americans and Caucasians. The case, which concluded with a landmark decision of the Supreme Court Plessy v. Ferguson, decided that the policy of "separate but equal" was legitimate and that states could enact legislation requiring racial segregation. This case has established segregation practices popular in public buildings, including trains, theaters, hotels, restaurants, washrooms, and public toilets.

Why did the jews feel entitled to claim israel as their nation following to wwii
sergij07 [2.7K]

Secondly, the land had been granted to them by the British Empire, as it had been part of Britain's territories since the end of the First World War, so the Jewish government in Israel when first established in 1948 had total international legitimacy. Thirdly, after losing 6 million of their people during the Holocaust, the survivors felt a need to leave Europe and join forces in a land where they would not be slaughtered en masse; their Holy Land seemed like a good choice at the time.
