1st paragraph from a plagiarized Term Paper
The 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution granted
freedmen the same rights as other citizens. However,
some white citizens believed that people of African descent
were inferior to those whose ancestors had been born in
Europe and had not been enslaved in this country. They
put a system in place to make sure that blacks and whites
were not treated equally. African Americans were not
allowed to eat in the same places as whites or even to
enter by the same door in some restaurants. They were
charged the full price for tickets on trains and streetcars
but had to sit in separate less desirable seats. While these
practices, often called Jim Crow laws, were not technically
laws, they were strictly observed (Swann-Wright Plessy v.
Ferguson)
