Did the northern states have little racial discrimination and segregation before the Civil War?

Yes and no. Yes because racial discrimination and segregation were not always as overt as they were in the southern states but no because both discrimination and segregation were still very present. While many Southern people looked upon anyone with black skin with utter contempt, many Northerners treated slaves and free blacks like children. Many believed that black people were not as intelligent as white people and thus things had to be dumbed down for them. Don't be misguided though; there was plenty of racist whites in the North who were in favor of slavery every bit as much as Southern whites. The difference was they weren't necessarily in the majority.

What US Supreme Court decision ended segregation?
There was no single case that ended segregation as a whole; the Civil Rights Movement gained ground a little at a time over the course of many cases, and with the assistance of long overdue legislation like the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 1968, etc.The case most often identified with the end of segregation is Brown v. Board of Education, (1954), where the US Supreme Court declared the "separate but equal" doctrine affirmed in Plessy v. Ferguson, (1896) unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection Clause. The decision in Brown only dealt with segregation in the public schools, not in every aspect of life, but it laid a foundation for future decisions and laws that eventually ended legal segregation.For more information, see Related Questions, below.

Was dr martin Luther king responsible for ending slavery in the south?
No. Slavery ended with the 13, 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution in 1867. This was a little less than 100 years before King was active and began the Civil Rights movement. King pushed for the end to discrimination in the society. Segregation of schools, business, and all parts of society was practiced through out the history of the United States. Slavery in the past was only one part of the problem.
