The majority opinion in the case Plessy vs. Ferguson was written by Supreme Court justice Henry Brown. In this opinion, he wrote that the Jim Crow laws that segregated blacks and whites in society did not violate the 14th amendment.

 In his argument, he discussed how the 14th amendment and the equal protection clause were focused on creating legal equality. In this case, Plessy had the chance to sit in a rail car of equal quality. This helped to develop the concept of "separate but equal" which would be used in American society for the next 6 decades.

An illustration shows a line of covered wagons traveling along a trail through the wilderness
Ksenya-84 [330]
<span>While many believed that Native Americans were truly their greatest threat, in reality, it was the simple and mundane things like disease and accidents that did the most damage to the travelers. The fact that they traveled so closely together (and without the help of proper modern medicine) it was easier to get sick and without the ability to heal, eventually die from simple diseases such as the common cold. Other ways pioneers could be injured is by buggy turnovers on the steeper areas of hills and mountains which had more of a rocky flooring.</span>
