As to civil rights (post-slavery issues), the Supreme Court ruled in the ''Civil Rights Cases'' (1883) that the Fourteenth Amendment was limited to prohibiting racial discrimination ''by government''.  These decisions held that the Fourteenth Amendment does not apply to racism by private groups.  The Supreme Court thereby ended the civil rights movement until it reemerged in 1950s to end racial segregation in the South.
