Khan Academy: Ap Us History: 1865 1898: Origins of Jim Crow Part 4

Curated by ACT

Reconstruction ended in the South and federal troops left once the Compromise Act was passed in 1877. This freed up the South to pass Jim Crow laws to enforce segregation. Then the Plessy v. Ferguson case (1896) in the Supreme Court allowed that segregation was not in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment so long as a policy of separate but equal was followed. [7:58]
