Plessy was a citizen who claimed to be seventh eights Caucasian and only one eighth Black. He was imprisoned and trial in a criminal court after an incident that took place while in New Orleans, in 1896, when he tried to board a car designated for hite people. He was denied a seat in the car for white people and urged to take a seat in the car for black people. As Plessy refused on the basis of his predominantly Caucasian race, the train staff arrested him, and then he was put in the parish jail. He was charged with criminal counts, but Plessy requested his case to be presented to the Supreme Court for he deemed there had been violations of the Thirteen and Fourteenth Amendments (abolition of slavery and equal treatment).
The Supreme Court's opinion stated that the treatment based on "equal but separated" did not conflict with the Thirteenth Amendment, for this amendment only protected citizens from being enslaved or forced to involuntary servitude, and no conflict was found with the Fourteenth Amendment since it enforced equality, but it did not specify under which terms. Therefore, the decision of the Supreme Court supported the doctrine "equal but separate" and segregation as well.
Most of the people in the Southeast culture did tended to be farmers, and the reasons for this are very simple:
- Climate; the climate was excellent for farming, warm and moist for most of the year, with more than enough precipitation and sunlight.
- Soil; the soil was very fertile, which was enabled by the deposits made every year by the rivers, and also because the climate was perfect for quick dissolving of the biomass which is essential for creating a fertile layer of soil.
- Water; apart from the high amount of precipitation, there's also lots of rivers in this part that were enabling that the plants can be watered all year long.
- Agricultural cultures available; the agricultural cultures that were native for this part were highly demanded and very profitable, which of course was a big stimulation for large scale farming.
