Plessy V. Ferguson was only a landmark decision in the Supreme Court of the United States issued in 1896. The impact of Plessy v. Ferguson allowed the statement "Separate but equal" also known as segregation to become law in U.S. After this event, Jim Crow laws which were a system of laws meant to discriminate against African Americans, spread across the United States.
