After Reconstruction, African-American rights gained during that period withered, as many states did not enforce the laws enacted to guarantee their rights. If they happened to live in the South, their rights were as good as gone. Not only did those states not impose the laws, they circumvented it and created a new system of oppression for Blacks and other colored people. Moreover, the infamous ruling in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) made racial segregation legal in public accommodations. The fight for equal education for students regardless of their race was a long battle and it extended into the Deep South state of Texas. Sweatt v. Painter was among a number of important legal cases that occurred during the twentieth century, in which African-Americans

The Plessy v. Ferguson case set an important precedent in the history of the united states. While the conclusion of the case itself remains that all public facilities are to remain segregated it gave way, as a trigger for many important developments we have today to occur. Not only did the case set a precedent for future cases, but it also legitimized the principles of Jim Crow. By legitimizing a principle of thought and social standard through politics, the principle now becomes even more arrogant as it is enforceable by further statutes and legislature and makes even more difficult for the issue to be amended. Though further decisions were made to advance the society of the United States, the mentality of our society was not corrected but

Plessy V. Ferguson was a court case that took place in 1896 in New Orleans. This case was held due to an incident in which African American train passenger Homer Plessy refused to sit in a Jim Crow Car where at the time in Louisiana, all colored people had to by law, which required separation of both whites and colored people. This action resulted in Plessy’s arrest in 1890. Even though Plessy argued that this violated his constitutional rights, the court ruled that a state law that “states merely a legal distinction “between those that are white and colored did not conflict with the 13th and 14th amendments. Restrictive legislation bases on race continued following the Plessy decision, its reasoning was not overturned until Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka in 1954.

Before the Union victory in 1865, Congress assembled for the challenges the United States would face at the war’s end, particularly the integration of four million emancipated African Americans into the country. The Congressional Reconstruction period generated the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth amendments into the United States Constitution. These amendments extended legal and civil protections to former slaves. These three amendments were foundation of the civil rights movement; because it gave new constitutional protections to African Americans, though the struggle to fully achieve equality would continue into the future, it led the civil rights movement on to the right path.

Since the founding of the United States, there has been many supreme court cases that impacted America. Cases like Brown V Board of Ed., and Plessy V Ferguson. On May 17, 1954, Brown V board of education was a supreme Court case in which the Court declared that laws separating public schools for black and white students were unconstitutional. In 1890, Homer Plessy was arrested and tried for violating louisiana law ‘separate but equal’ by sitting in an all white railroad car, which led to the Plessy V Ferguson case.

On June 7, 1892, Plessy boarded a New Orleans train and sat in the “whites only” car.  Plessy then informed the conductor that he was black and the railroad officials, following through on the arrangement, arrested Plessy and charged him with violating the Separate Car Act. Tourgée’s plan was officially in motion.  In the Criminal District Court for the Parish of Orleans, Tourgée argued that the law requiring “separate but equal accommodations” was unconstitutional as it violated the 13th & 14th Amendments. Further, as illustrated by Plessy’s arrest, there was no way for railroad companies to enforce the law. (Had Plessy not announced himself, no one would have ever known he was black.)  As Tourgée anticipated, Judge John H. Ferguson ruled

The U.S. economy was booming in the 1920’s. Stocks prices soared, as they were bought on margin for as little as 10% down. Market speculation is cyclical-that is, if one stock appears profitable, you buy it,

The Bremmers’ current vision for the GrainGoat is to continue their growth by manufacturing and selling the product in the United States, then look to distribute it internationally. They would also consider selling the rights, trade secrets, and patents to a larger agricultural machinery company, such as John Deere or Case New Holland if the anticipated growth and market popularity of the GrainGoat should exceed their expectations. However, at this time, their focus is on developing the GrainGoat with conservative and methodical approach in order to responsibly manage their current resources available to

High interest rates after the 1973 oil crisis and the 1979 energy crisis, the US economy was affected by stagflation. In an effort to fight excessive inflation, the Fed adopted a tight monetary policy, raising interest rates (as an illustration, the federal funds rate increased from 11% in 1979 to 20% by June 1981).This affected all players as it led to a plunge of stock market prices, on the one hand, and an economic recession, on the other. Furthermore, Massey was particularly hit hard: since it mainly financed its operations with short-term debt, its financing cost went up
