Hey there!

Here is your answer:

<u><em>The proper answer to this question is " for sitting on a whites only railroad car".</em></u>

Reason:

<u><em>African Americans were in violation of restrictions set by Louisiana's Separate Car Act which was made in 1890 and if any African American breaks that violation would be punished with jail time.</em></u>

<em>Therefore the answer is for sitting on a whites only railroad car.</em>

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

<em><u>Homer Plessy was arrested for sitting on a whites-only railroad car". </u></em>

<em><u></u></em>

Further Explanations:

As per Louisiana’s Separate Car act of 1890, separate coaches were allotted to both Whites and black citizens, but whites were granted to sit in the coaches. It was not the same for the black. If a black attempted to sit in the coach of white he was condemned against violating the act.

Case of Homer Plessey was one such instance, who was arrested for occupying the seat of white citizens. The case was millstone for path slavery abolition, as its ruling upheld the racial segregation under the “equal but separate” doctrine. According to the case, the whole incident started Homer Plessey refused to sit and take the car of the blacks that was taken as a violation of constitutional. The Supreme Court implied that the discernment was not unconstitutional and specified it as the legal distinction.

Explain the contributing factors to the patterns of the global silver trade between 1550 and 1800
Inga [223]

The increase in the trade of silver during the period between 1550 and 1800 is due to the fact that silver was started to be used as a standard currency for trade purposes. Even though it was not considered as "legal tender", as it would later be used for this purpose with the introduction "Bimetallism" in the 19th century, it was widely adopted as a tool for trade among the civilizations that existed at the time.
