History
1 answer:
Aliun [14]3 years ago

Answer:

It made racial segregation legal in the United States.

Explanation:

A shoemaker of New Orleans, Homer Plessy, purchased a rail ticket On June 7, 1892, and sat in a  train reserved for people from the white race. The State Law of Louisiana allowed separate railway cars for African Americans and Caucasians. The case, which concluded with a landmark decision of the Supreme Court Plessy v. Ferguson, decided that the policy of "separate but equal" was legitimate and that states could enact legislation requiring racial segregation. This case has established segregation practices popular in public buildings, including trains, theaters, hotels, restaurants, washrooms, and public toilets.

How did migrations impact Africa? Focus on the causes and effects of each.
jasenka [17]

Answer:

The reason for migration can be attributed to segregation and better life.

Explanation:

Northern and Eastern migration: It was the relocation to cities of the West, Midwest and North due to unpleasant segregation laws and unsatisfactory economic opportunities which resulted in the movement of blacks to head north, where industrial workers were needed.

Bantu Migration: The reasons for the Bantu migrations were:

• Dried state of the Sahara grasslands which resulted into people that practiced agriculture to move in search of water and fertile land for farming.

• Increase in population which created pressure on resources causing movement in search for new land.

• Tribal wars resulted in defeated tribes to relocate for safety.

• Expansion of their iron-working after its discovery also caused migration.

The effects of Bantu migration include positive and negative effects. Positive effects include:

• Introduction of iron working

• Increase in food production.

• Introduction of new crops such as bananas and yams.

Negative effects include:

• Depopulation which was due to constant attacks for land by the Bantu against people in East Africa.

• Loss of culture: The loss of culture was a result of cultural absorption and intermarriage with other tribes.
