PUT IT IN ORDER! ———————-
Louisiana passes the Separate Car Act that makes railroad companies provide separate (but equal) cars for black and white passengers in 1890. A group of black citizens joined with the East Louisiana Rail Road Company to fight the Act. (The citizens wanted rights and the RR company wanted to save money by using fewer cars.) Homer Plessy was chosen to break the law so it could be challenged in court.
Can you put the rest of the story in the correct order?
___ Plessy appealed the decision and lost again, but took the case to the Supreme Court in 1896.
___ Homer Plessy bought a first class train ticket and sat down in the ‘whites only’ section of the train.
___ The Supreme Court upheld the previous decisions and said that racial segregation was constitutional if accommodations were equal. This led to more and more legal segregation all over the US.
___ Plessy was arrested for riding in a ‘whites only’ railroad car, because he was 1/8th black.
___ Plessy argued that the Act violated his 13th & 14th Amendment rights, but he lost in the local court.

freeborn women in ancient rome were citizens (cives), but could not vote or hold political office. because of their limited public role, women are named less frequently than men by roman historians. but while roman women held no direct political power, those from wealthy or powerful families could and did exert influence through private negotiations. exceptional women who left an undeniable mark on history range from lucretia and claudia quinta, whose stories took on mythic significance; fierce republican-era women such as cornelia, mother of the gracchi, and fulvia, who commanded an army and issued coins bearing her image; women of the julio-claudian dynasty, most prominently livia (58 bc-ad 29), who contributed to the formation of imperial mores; and the empress helena (c.250–330 ad), a driving force in promoting christianity.

women in the ancient greek world had few rights in comparison to male citizens. unable to vote, own land, or inherit, a woman’s place was in the home and her purpose in life was the rearing of children. this, though, is a general description, and when considering the role of women in ancient greece one should remember that information regarding specific city-states is often lacking, is almost always from male authors, and only in athens can their status and role be described in any great detail. neither are we sure of the practical and everyday application of the rules and laws that have survived from antiquity. we do know that spartan women were treated somewhat differently than in other states. for example, they had to do physical training like men, were permitted to own land, and could drink wine.

industry had made the u.s. the richest nation in the world at this time. the second industrial revolution caused growth in industry and transportation, which allowed increased trade between nations.
