Explanation:

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld racial segregation in the Jim Crow South via the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson ruling, which established the "separate but equal" doctrine. This allowed segregated public facilities as long as they were deemed "equal," legitimizing Jim Crow laws. The court never declared the 14th Amendment null, codified states' rights for this purpose, or reinstated the Dred Scott decision.

Answer:

Through the doctrine of "separate but equal"
