Who took a case to Supreme Court in 1896 concerning segregation by railroad companies

History
1 answer:

Answer:

This refers to the infamous Supreme Court ruling called Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537 (1896).

Explanation:

This ruling upheld racial segregation by the railroad companies and it is considered a big setback on the advances made in giving former slave populations civil rights after the civil war in the United States. This ruling is generally regarded as one of the worst decisions the U.S. Supreme Court has ever made. SCOTUS at that time found that racial segregation policies could be allowed as long as equal quality services were provided to both races. Hence the "separate but equal" idea that shaped public policies towards race in the southern states for decades. It was only with the 1954 case Brown v. Board of Education that the Plessy v. Ferguson case was overruled de facto because the court ruled that "separate but equal" was indeed unconstitutional.

A A single empire ruled for thousands of years. B Three major empires ruled. C Slavery was never legal D There was no farming.
dimulka [17.4K]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Today, it may be hard to find the heritage of the millions of original Americans who populated North and South America. Mostly, this is because huge numbers of those Native Americans were conquered and killed, either by new diseases or European guns. Cultural ignorance and a self-centered worldview allowed the white settlers to dismiss the Native Americans as "savages."

We now know a lot more about three major empires: the Maya, Aztec and Inca civilizations. These people built large cities to live in and giant temples to worship their gods. They didn't live in paradise; owning slaves was common in Mesoamerica. But they also demonstrated lots of practical knowledge, from astronomy to farming techniques to medicines. These were the original Americans.

Which of these is true of Mesoamerica?

A A single empire ruled for thousands of years. B Three major empires ruled. C Slavery was never legal D There was no farming.

Answer:

B. Three major empires ruled.

Explanation:

Mesoamerica is the region formed by southern Mexico and the territories of Guatemala, El Salvador and Belize. This territory was populated by pre-Columbian civilizations that established great empires. Although America had many of these empires, Mesoamerica featured three, which can also be considered great pre-Columbian civilizations. These civilizations were the Aztecs, the Mayans and the Incas.
