During the 16th-17th century, is the height of sea trading. Voyages were longer and farther. Most voyages focused on trading rather than warfare. However, it is inevitable to engage in such warfare when necessary. Artillery such as cannons were redesigned to be lighter and more compact so they would consume less space. Before, cannons occupy much space in the ship thus, the goods that merchants can load on the ship are reduced. Ship rigging was also improved by adding up to 6 masts overall. This was done so that large ships can sail at great distances and reduce the number of trips to cut cost.

Answer:
In no way was the idea of "separate but equal" consistent with the provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment, which basically establishes equal rights between African Americans and whites in the country, and admits the citizenship of black people.
The racist governments in the south of the country sought a mechanism to, without manifestly contravening this amendment, segregate the African American population and separate it from the white population. To do this, they sought to comply with the rights established in the Constitution, but through different services from those of whites, and of much lower quality.
Thus, with the complicity of the judicial systems, they violated the principle of equality of the Constitution, protecting themselves in an alleged legality of the "separate but equal" system.
