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.

What were the financial challenges faced by the new confederation government?
Sholpan [36]
<span>One financial problem centered around the fact that the Confederation Congress lacked the ability to pass laws to collect tariffs. Also, they started to print paper money, but since there wasn't a store of silver or gold to back it up, the money had no real value. A third issue that doomed the economy was the large debt that had been incurred during the war.</span>
