Answer:

Equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

(1896) The case involved whether the state could segregate based on race.

The court ruled that segregation based on race did not violate the U.S. Constitution as long as the facilities were equal in quality.

This became known as the "separate but equal" doctrine, which was later overruled by Brown v. Board of Education.

Please don't hate civics. Give it a little attention and you will learn so much about the world around you and how many of the laws in existence today were determined.
