supported segregation and stated it was constitutional to have separate public facilities.
Plessy v. Ferguson was a important court case where the Supreme Court stated that separate facilities as constitutional as long as it is equal. The decision allowed for white and black schools in addition to segregation in public transportation, restrooms, and other facilities. This decision allowed for legal segregation until the decision was reversed in 1954.
He and his men went right around the world in tiny , ungainly boats. If you have ever been on the sea at all you can imagine the immensity of it. They had no maps or charts. Many of them thought the world was flat and had no idea of the raging seas south of Cape Horn or the tip of Africa. They had little food and certainly no fresh foods.
They gained new rights because they had contributed to the overthrow of the French. They gained prestige because they had fought alongside the new settlers of their land.
Answer:
A polis (plural: poleis) was the typical structure of a community in the ancient Greek world. A polis consisted of an urban centre, often fortified and with a sacred centre built on a natural acropolis or harbour, which controlled a surrounding territory (chora) of land. The term polis has, therefore, been translated as ‘city-state’ as there was typically only one city and because an individual polis was independent from other poleis in terms of political, judicial, legal, religious and social institutions and practices, each polis was in effect a state. Like a state, each polis was also involved in international affairs, both with other poleis and non-Greek states in the areas of trade, political alliances and wars. Other cultures had a similar social and political structure, notably, the Babylonians, Etruscans and Phoenicians, and the latter are believed to be the originators of the polis as a communal unit.
The polis emerged from the Dark Ages which followed the fall of the Mycenaean civilization in Greece and by the 8th century BCE a significant process of urbanisation had begun. There were eventually over 1,000 poleis in the Greek World but among the most important were Athens, Sparta, Corinth, Thebes, Syracuse, Aegina, Rhodes, Argos, Eretria, and Elis. The biggest was Sparta, although with some 8,500 km² of territory, this was exceptionally large and most poleis were small in size. However, poleis such as Athens, Rhodes and Syracuse possessed significant naval fleets which also allowed them to control wide areas of territory across the Aegean
The French and Dutch settlements differed from the Spanish colonies in that they were created mainly to trade and develop industries, while the Spanish were primarily concerned with gold and silver excavation, and then later with sugar exportation.
