Answer: The case strengthened the laws.

Step-by-step explanation:

After the widespread of railroads tickets related to race in Tennessee and Mississippi during the 1880s, it was time for Louisiana to follow this rule in 1890. When Homer Plessy, a person with African ancestry, denied the asking for leaving his seat he was convicted of violating the law. His case was decided in 1896 with the Supreme Court ruling that states had a right to create laws separating public places. This case strengthened the practice of racial discrimination and consequently had a strong effect on the South’s Jim Crow laws.
