The Decision of the Case:
So the court came up with a decision which was 7 to 1 saying that they rejected Plessy's arguments. The majority said that Mr. Plessy's 13th and 14th Amendment rights were not violated in any such way. They also said that blacks are inferior to whites and that most other places for blacks are poorer. The minority was said by Justice John Marshall Harlan. Since he was a former slave owner and saw all the terrible things that happened to blacks. So yeah that's pretty much what happened. Sorry if this post wasn't as interesting as the others.
