The main outcome of the Plessy v. Ferguson case was the Established "separate but equal" doctrine which Decided in 1896.

The Supreme Court upheld state laws that enforced racial segregation in public facilities, asserting that segregated facilities for African Americans and whites could coexist as long as they were equal in quality. This ruling legitimized segregation and discrimination, reinforcing Jim Crow laws across the South for decades. It wasn't until the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision in 1954 that the "separate but equal" doctrine was ultimately overturned.
