The plaintiff in the case, was seven-eighths white and one-eighth black, and had the appearance of a white man. On June 7, 1892, he purchased a first-class ticket for a trip between New Orleans and Covington, La., and took possession of a vacant seat in a white-only car. Duly arrested and imprisoned, Plessy was brought to trial in a New Orleans court and convicted of violating the 1890 law. He then filed a petition against the judge in that trial, Hon. John H. Ferguson, at the Louisiana Supreme Court, arguing that the segregation law violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which forbids states from denying "to any person within their jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws," as well as the Thirteenth Amendment, which banned slavery.

Feliz [49]

The correct answer is B.

Louisiana, also known as French Lousiana was an administrative district of the whole region controlled by France in North America, called New France.  The name of the territory was decided in honour of King Louis XIV of France.

This territory was controlled by France but not really developed due to a lack of funding and human resources. After the French defeat in the Seven Years War, part of the territory of Lousiana was lost and transferred to the British winners.

<em>In fact, the names of those places abovementioned are clearly derived from the French language (for example, rouge= red in French, or the surname Delocroix which is French too). </em>
