The decision was upheld because Plessy did not agree with the case. He didn't believe that there was an accurate way to determine whether someone was a 100% white or black. Since Louisiana  was so diverse in different nationalities it was almost impossible to point out  who belonged where. Later on, the doctrine that supported the Supreme Court decision was called "Separate but Equal."

He was trying to prove that every race, no matter the skin color should be treated the same and all races should be equal.

Somewhat wealthy families were thrown into poverty and wave of money problems resonated throughout the country. Jobs and everyday items were scarce so citizens had to be as thrifty as possible and cut corners to save money.


The great depression started in America as well as most other countries on October 29, 1929. This deficiency in money lasted about 10 years for Americans but many other nations were burdened with it for some time longer.

In America, it was kicked off by a stock market fluctuation, throwing wall street into a panic. Key investors withdrew their shares, subsequently causing more panic. During this extreme plumet in the economy, 9,000 banks failed. With all this being said, there was no one cause of the depression. The stock market crash was especially damaging to companies that expanded their reach in the roaring 20’s.
