Free or Semi-free

Reconstruction had many effects on the former slaves in the south.To begin with, the slaves in the south before reconstruction after the civil war was equally as hard or harder. For example, before the slaves were treated with no respect from there owners and worked there butts off day in and day out. They were also not free at the time and had no choice if they want to do the work. these times before the reconstruction. On the other hand, after the reconstruction they were free and still decided to live on the farms as sharecroppers. Sharecroppers we still technically a slave. they still lived on the farms and had to pay a portion of everything they mad to the owner and had little for them selfs just like before. The former slaves were better off before because they still had all the same things but did not have to live in debt and still live up to the rules.

America can't find truth behind the false with stereotypes

Stereotypes are known by so many in our society because they are over used and are repeated so much that we as americans think they are true. Americans today are persuaded by anything they see, for example, watching the news on T.V or reading it on a website. In comparison if you say something enough people believe it as a true statement not as what is a stereotypical idea. Knowing how Americans think that stereotypes are true like, all Asian people are smart or all Italians are in the mob they are so overly used in our society because in most but not all cases they can be true therefore we think they are correct. But in the end stereotypes are wrong and shouldn't be used at all cause they are immoral.

Lies Vs. the real world

Many things we were taught about history as a young children are all one big lie that we all beLIEved because didn't know any better. But when push comes to shove Paul Revere did not ride his horse to Lexington and Concord saying "the british are coming", in fact it wasn't him at all, and that is only one of many lies that we commonly believe in. History teacher have made us learn something that is not true for the past hundreds of years and people still don't know the truth. "History is a lie that is commonly agreed upon" by Voltaire says it all but we all have the same misconceptions of what happens from the perspective of the winners and not the losers ( the other and sometimes real side of the story ).

Missing puzzle pieces of the past

Countries should not leave out parts of there history that have happened in the past. to begin, everything happens for a reason and the same goes for history past and present because if certain things in history did not happen like WW1 and the great depression or industrial revolution we as Americans would not be where we are today. even if the country is not proud of it or happy with the results of what happens, its there past and its what made them who they are today. for example, the events that happened in america that are sad or bad because a lot of people died like in the "trail of tears" and had to surrender in battle. Everything happens for a reason wether you like it or not. So i think that countries should not leave parts of there history out because that is what makes a country who they are today.
