Answer: by winning a global war against France

The British won a war against Spain and France which resulted in the treaty of 1763, which gave Britain both Canada and Florida, making it the dominant power in North America.

Source (transcript of a video included in my online school lessons):

"Britain formally declared war on France in 1756, but the new commander in America, Lord Loudoun, fared no better than his predecessors. British fortunes improved when William Pitt became the new leader in London. With money he had borrowed, Pitt paid Prussia to wage war on France in Europe, and financed colonial militias in North America. The colonial troops won several important victories in 1758 and 1759. The most crucial came in September of 1760, when the British captured Montreal, forcing France out of Canada. After that, Spain and France joined forces to fight Britain in other parts of the world. A peace agreement was reached among the three countries in 1763. France lost all of Canada to Britain as well as New France from the British colonies west to the Mississippi River, but it retained its hold on the valuable West Indies, or “sugar islands.” Spain lost Florida to Britain while gaining Louisiana from France. Just thirteen years later, the British colonies would declare their independence."

Plessy v. Ferguson was a Supreme Court decision that stayed?

Dovator [93]

Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) was a Supreme Court decision that upheld the principle of "separate but equal" in regard to racial segregation. The Court's decision said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.

In the decades after the Civil War, states in the South began to pass laws that sought to keep white and black society separate. In the 1880s, a number of state legislatures began to pass laws requiring railroads to provide separate cars for passengers who were black. At the heart of the case that became Plessy v. Ferguson was an 1890 law passed in Louisiana in 1890 that required railroads to provide "separate railway carriages for the white and colored races.”

In 1892, Homer Plessy, who was 1/8 black, bought a first class train railroad ticket, took a seat in the whites only section, and then informed the conductor that he was part black. He was removed from the train and jailed. He argued for his civil rights before Judge John Howard Ferguson and was found guilty. His case went all the way to the Supreme Court which at that time upheld the idea of "separate but equal" facilities.

Several decades later, the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson decision was overturned. Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, decided by the US Supreme Court in 1954, extended civil liberties to all Americans in regard to access to education. The "separate but equal" principle of Plessy v. Ferguson had been applied to education as it had been to transportation. In the case of Brown v. Board of Education, that standard was challenged and defeated. Segregation was shown to create inequality, and the Supreme Court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.
