The Plessy Case by Charles A Lofgren
In 1896 the U.S. Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson upheld equal but separate accommodations for the white and colored races on all passenger railways within the state of Louisiana. In this book, Lofgren traces the roots of this landmark case in the post-Civil War South and pinpoints its moorings in the era's constitutional, legal, and intellectual doctrines.
`Meticulous and painstakingly detailed, this lawyerly history supercedes all previous accounts of the landmark 1896 US. Supreme Court decision.' Georgia Historical Quarterly
