Lisa [10]
Bosnia was a battlefield for Serbia and Croatia after Yugoslavia split. Both of them had nationalistic leaders, and both of them wanted Bosnia in their territory, and they had populations in it. Serbians were making genocide on Croats as a revenge for the genocide on the Serbians made by the Croatian ustashi half a century earlier, while the Croats were making genocide on the Serbians as a revenge for what they were doing at the moment. Bosnian Muslims were in the middle of it all and they were fighting with both Serbs and Croats. And the Serbians also made genocide on the Muslim population on an ethnic and religious basis.

Novosadov [1.4K]
<h2>Answer: The Louisiana Purchase (1803) was a land deal between the United States and France, in which the U.S. acquired approximately 827,000 square miles of land west of the Mississippi River for $15 million. </h2><h2> This little event, of France possessing herself of Louisiana, ... is the embryo of a tornado which will burst on the countries on both shores of the Atlantic and involve in it’s effects their highest destinies.</h2><h2>President Thomas Jefferson wrote this prediction in an April 1802 letter to Pierre Samuel du Pont amid reports that Spain would retrocede to France the vast territory of Louisiana. As the United States had expanded westward, navigation of the Mississippi River and access to the port of New Orleans had become critical to American commerce, so this transfer of authority was cause for concern. Within a week of his letter to du Pont, Jefferson wrote U.S. Minister to France Robert Livingston: "every eye in the US. is now fixed on this affair of Louisiana. perhaps nothing since the revolutionary war has produced more uneasy sensations through the body of the nation."</h2>

Compared with the decision in Plessy v. Ferguson, this opinion refutes the doctrine of “separate but equal.” supports the doctri
nasty-shy [4]

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.
