Explanation:

Let's know better each explorer. It's important to know their names and accomplishments.

<u>Francis Drake (1540 - 1596)</u>

<u></u>

Francis Drake was an English explorer. Queen Elizabeth sent Drake to South America as part of England try to stand out itself from Portugal and Spanish on their empires. At the time Drake arrived in South America, that place was under control of the Iberian empires (Portugal and Spain). He returned to England via the Pacific, and it was honored by Queen Elizabeth for his victories.  The nickname English Sea Dog was given to him, alongside his mate Richard Hawking, as part of their victory against the Spanish Armada in 1588. The battle was influenced by the English support to the independence of Dutch from Spain, and an attempt of Spain to destroy the English emergent commercial trades in the Atlantic.

<u>Vasco de Balboa (1475 - 1519)</u>

Vasco de Balboa was a Spanish explorer. He made many alliances with the natives during his explorations in the new world. These alliances led him, in 1513, to discover the Pacific Ocean (or Mar del Sul, as he named). The arrival at the Pacific Ocean was made crossing the Isthmus of Panama.

<u>Ferdinand de Magellan (1480 - 1521)</u>

Ferdinand de Magellan was a Portuguese sailor. His proposal to reach India through a new route by the Pacific was refused by Portugal. At that time, the Portuguese empire was strong enough to refuse this proposition with its recent discoveries (especially Brazil in 1500). Anyway, Magellan was commissioned by King Charles I from Spain to do his attempt to reach India through Asia using the Pacific as a route. If Magellan would accomplish this attempt, Spain would obtain a valuable route and could confront Portugal in trade. His expedition was able to accomplish this attempt, but Magellan died in 1521.

<u>Jacques Cartier (1491 - 1557)</u>

Jacques Cartier was a French explorer. Cartier was commissioned by King Francis I of France to explorer the northern parts of North America. His idea was to found a passage to Asia. France, just like England, was trying to surpass Portugal and Spain looking for new lands and trade routes. In 1534, during his explorations, Cartier found the St. Lawerence River, and he was the first to explorer it.

<u>Samuel de Champlain (1567 - 1635)</u>

Samuel de Champlain led the first French settlement in 1608. However, we have to explain this statement. Jacques Cartier tried to create a settlement in 1541, during his explorations of the St. Lawrence River, but the settlement was abandoned due to the bad weather, diseases and other bad aspects.

<u>Jacques Marquette (1637 - 1675)</u>

Jacques Marquette was a Jesuit explorer. He is best known for his traveling trough the Mississipi river.

Plessy v. Ferguson was a Supreme Court decision that stayed?
Dovator [93]

<em>Plessy v. Ferguson</em> (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 <em>Plessy v. Ferguson</em> 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 <em>Plessy v. Ferguson </em>decision was overturned.  <em>Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka</em>, 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 <em>Plessy v. Ferguson</em> had been applied to education as it had been to transportation.   In the case of <em>Brown v. Board of Education</em>, that standard was challenged and defeated.  Segregation was shown to create inequality, and the Supreme Court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.
