Few white Southerners ever accept the idea of racial equality. The fact that former slaves acquire legal and political rights is the result of federal support which all but vanishes after federal troops withdraw in 1877. The Fifteenth Amendment that gave African American men the vote is superseded in the 1880s and 1890s by grandfather clauses, white primaries, and unadulterated terror. The Southern states start passing segregation laws only one of which ever reaches the U. S. Supreme court, Plessy v. Ferguson. With each year that passes the limitations on blacks seem to tighten, choking off gains that were achieved just after the Civil War.
