16.3 SEGREGATION AND DISCRIMINATION Objective: Understand the persistence of racism in America in late 1800’s early 1900’s

VOTING RESTRICTIONS & SEGREGATION Literacy test Poll tax Grandfather clause Jim Crow Laws Supreme Court finds these laws constitutional. WHY???

1.The idea of “separate but equal” facilities for African Americans was established in the Supreme Court decision ___________ v._____________. 2.____________ was a system of separation by race. NAME TWO LAWS TO RESTRICT VOTING NAME THE LAW THAT EXEMPTS WHITES FROM VOTING RESTRICTIONS: 5.

Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) Segregation by race is constitutional as long as facilities are separate, but equal REALITY: facilities were never equal 14 th AMENDMENT state Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.  COURT INTERPRETS THIS TO ALLOW PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS TO DISCRIMINATE!!!

ONLY ONE Justice dissented - Justice John Harlan "Our Constitution is color-blind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens. In respect of civil rights, all citizens are equal before the law...In my opinion, the judgment this day rendered will, in time, prove to be quite as pernicious as the decision made by this tribunal in the Dred Scott case...The present decision, it may well be apprehended, will not only stimulate aggressions, more or less brutal and irritating, upon the admitted rights of colored citizens, but will encourage the belief that it is possible, by means of state enactments, to defeat the beneficent purposes which the people of the United States had in view when they adopted the recent amendments of the Constitution."

DISCRIMINATION AGAINST AFRICAN AMERICANS IN THE SOUTH: segregation and discrimination was not only permitted, IT WAS THE LAW (de jure) IN THE NORTH: segregation and discrimination were not legalized, but commonly practiced (de facto)

Explain how segregation and discrimination affected the lives of African Americans at the turn of the century.

DISCRIMINATION AGAINST MEXICAN AMERICANS Many Mexicans hired to work in mining, irrigation, and farming in the Southwest Many Mexicans suffer under debt peonage (=sharecropping) Debt peonage not made illegal until 1911

Chinese Exclusion Act Great Railroad Strike of 1877!!! Strike failed b/c of disunity b/w Chinese & Irish Congress passes Chinese Exclusion Act to halt Chinese immigration. Pres. Hayes vetoes the popular bill. Passes after Hayes leaves office & in effect until 1943.
