Consequences:

  The consequences that occurred during the time were that segregation was still going, and on was with the intention of ensuing in the “separate-but-equal” decision against him had broad consequences for civil rights in the United States. Another consequence was pleading his case in a room where people thought segregation was a good thing.. 

     The parish jail in New Orleans was where Plessy was detained in for one night because of his so called “criminal” act.  This actually leads us into our next consequence that he had faced. In the case document, Plessy wasn’t described as rowdy, imperceptive, or unintelligent as most “colored-men” were referred to. In fact he was acknowledged as a clean, neatly dressed ordinary white man. The consequence with that being was that it was his ethnic background that changed the minds of fellow white people. He was described to look like an ordinary white man, with one eighth of an African American background.
