England had the upper hand in the colonization of the New World because of two reasons:

- Strong navy; The British Empire had one of the strongest navies in the world, and over time it became the strongest of them all. This was crucial for exploration and conquest of the New World, as well as keeping the competition out of their territories even before they manage to get to the land.

- Sponsorship by the king; The sponsoring of expeditions by the king was of huge importance because without it, the expeditions would not have been able to take place. The king wanted a new sea route towards Asia through which England will be able to trade under its own terms and he was not thinking twice to invest in it. It turned out that instead of a route to Asia he got his hands onto a whole new land, and he wanted it for himself.

In the case of Plessy vs Ferguson, the supreme court focused its decision on the interpretation of what word

ad-work [718]

The word focused on was:

<h2>Equal</h2>

In context, the overall phrase focused on was the concept of "<u>separate but equal.</u>"

Explanation/details:

Homer Plessy is the man behind the famous Supreme Court case, Plessy v. Ferguson. The state of Louisiana had passed a law in 1890, segregating blacks from whites on public transportation. In 1892, 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, Plessy v. Ferguson 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. Until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students. The older Supreme Court decision, Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), which had said that separate but equal facilities were okay, was thus challenged and defeated by Brown v. Board of Education. Segregation was shown to create inequality, and the Supreme Court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.
