The End of Reconstruction American History The End of Reconstruction

Compromise of 1877 Rutherford B. Hayes is elected President He agrees to remove all Northern troops from the South Reconstruction is officially over with white southerners back in charge

What does this mean for African Americans? Segregation - Separation of races in all facets of society

Segragation in the South Jim Crow Laws Plessy v Ferguson Laws that enforced segregation in all public places Examples: restrooms, water fountains, restaurants, parks, etc. Homer Plessy was of mixed race and was required to ride in the black car of a train in LA He challenged this law and the case went to the Supreme Court

Plessy v Ferguson The Supreme Court declared “separate but equal” (know this!) Segregation is Constitutional or legal as long as both races are treated equally What problems do you see with this decision? “The slave went free; stood a brief moment in the sun; the moved back again toward slavery” (W.E.B. Du Bois pg. 98). Write a paragraph explaining the meaning of this quote.
