Answer 2

The Separate Car Act of 1890, requiring African-Americans and Caucasians to go in isolated railroad autos was sacred under the Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection Clause; as long as the facilities accommodated the African-Americans were equivalent to those accommodated Whites.

This approved the "separate however equivalent" principle whites used to abstain from tolerating African-Americans as companions, and permitted the expansion of Jim Crow laws all through the South.
