Gunsmoke's steryotypes

In the episode of Gunsmoke, some of the steryotypes of cowboys I saw was that one of them left his partner behind to leave him die. That they were able to deliver 3 babies. That they were able to figure out that the man in the wanted poster was the father of the babies. Know what to do when the baby #1 won't drink the goats milk. The sherif that killed the babies father sent Martial a telegram

Amnesty or No Amnesty?

I think that the South did not decerve Amnesty. This is because, first of all they didn't want forgiveness. They didn't belive that they had done anything wrong. So if this were there belives then it wouldn't make much sence to forgive someone that didn't want it. Not only that, but they should have come to the North and asked for the forgiveness. Not the North ask if it was ok for them to forgive the South.

Did one good make a bad?

This even was meant to help slaves, but in a way it just harmed them. They  were the ones that got most of the bad sides of the Reconstruction. Many were in depth and didn't have many resorses. After they planted crops, they were forced to give a big percentage of the crops to there "masters". Also, many of them didn't have an education and those who did were just starting to learn.
After the Reconstruction, slaves were abused in many ways. They were publicly murdered for no reason what so ever and then there corpes would be shoped and sold as souvenirs. So they were defenetly better off before the Civil War.

Differenced between the Reconstruction and the Civil Rights Movement

When talking about the Reconstruction and the Civil Rights Movement there's a few things that are different. During the Reconstruction Affrican-American's were still slave. The Northern Goverment made there semi-aforts to stop slavery and give them equal rights, but it did not work. Slaves even after being "freed" where still treated as being less than the white people. The Northern law had no affect on the South, because they did not accept them. After they finally did give them there semi-freedom they could not leave there masters farm. They were murdered in horrible ways, for no reason at all. At this time that would be considered an important even. People traveled from far just to see African-Americans being killed in the middle of a public place. After that, the poeple that murdered them would shop up there bodies and sell them as suveniors. To top it all off, they did not know how to read or write so it did not make to much sence of trying to leave the farms where they worked at.

During the Civil Rights Movement, not many things changed. They were still not treated equaly, but had a few more rights than in the Reconstruction. African-Americans where able to go to school and to be paid for working. Yet, there was a seperation in public places. African-Americans and White people had different places where to sit, eat and work. Many where still murdered even though they were freed considred to be equal.

Some of the similarities varied. Many people did want to help the African-Americans to be free. Many of the main people that wanted to stop descrimination where shot and killed. The poeple that killed them were against African-Americans having equal rights. Even though they had some freedom they were killed for no reason. Both lasted many years. Under the states federal goverment they were all the things that would happen to the African-Americans were not as important as the White people's buisness. They would ignore the unfaire treatment that the African-Americans would endore.

Something everyone knows

People talk so much and thats how things get around. Thats how steryotypes are known by EVERYONE. No matter where your from theres always something that people are gona be thinking as soon as they see you or meet you. Sometimes there right but other times there not. So you shouldn't judge someone just because of what you've heard from other people.

Should the Government be involved?

When the government only does little thats when is the best. To me thats because the government mainly does things that are good for themselfs. If they don't get something in return then they won't do it. If the government dosn't get involved then we would be in a better place.

Is History THAT Important?

In my opinion History is more important that what anyone thinks. If it wasn't for History we wouldn't be able to prevent some of the things that have already happend in the past. Also, we wouldn't undestand the reasons why we have some of the rules that we have now a days or why the government is the way it is. Not only that, but we wouldn't know some of the amaizing things that our ansensors did before we wer even born.

Repetition Much

People agree with what ever sounds smart or with what ever is best for them. If they have to lie in order to hide something from the past,then there going to do it. Why? For the simple reason that they, as human beings, don't wana look bad infront of others.
