stereotypes
stereotypes are so widely known in our society today by so many people because theres some truth behind all the stereotypes im pretty sure a stereotype didnt start by a guy just randomly saying white men cant jump or black men cant swim .but but saying white men or black men your refering to ALL the peope of that race,religion,gender or whatever the stereotype may be. like women cant drive...im posititve there are some excellent women drivers out there( not including danica patrick who has done nothing in her career of hype) but then there are most likely a ton of bad women drivers and thats where the stereotype comes from. if we are talking about slavery and the civil war then theres stereotypes like white people are better the blacks or even the joke what do you call a black person with a palm leaf......antique air conditions. These things had happened more the 100 years ago are still coming up as sterotypes even thoug most of them arent true anymore. theyre still looked at that way. so overall a sterotype has truth behing it but most of the time not true
lincolns focus
Lincolns concern was more on preserving the union then slavery because slavery was mostly taking place in the union so if you didnt preserve the union he would have no power on slavery. if the union had successfully succeeded theyd be there own country. so in modern day it be like Obama telling the prime minister of canada to make all the canadiens to speak english. and primeminister would just be like noooooooo, who do think you are . or something like that. it doesnt really work that way. overall lincols was basically taking steps 1 preserve union ,then if that works2 we will then abolish slavery. you just cant do it the other way. trying to abolish slavery before preserving the reunion is like......trying to abolish slavery before preserving the union. theres really no better analogy than that.

"step on one bug and the internet isnt invented"-hot tub time machine
of course history matters. anything that has previously happened is history and things that happend in the past creates the present. so during the civil war what would have happend if the south won, that would more than likely have a big effect on present day. what if we never won freedom over brittan -- i might not even be hear today. what if my great grandparents never came over from ireland and germany-- i Definetly wouldnt be hear. these are all things that happend throughout history to make today.. one little thing someone does or doesnt do tomorow could impact the rest of their life and other peoples
10 x 10= 110
we should change the way we teach younger kids the history of america. my whole life i thought christopher columbus was the first man to find america and jackie robinson was the first black baseball player. until last week when mr meechin told me they werent a long with a bunch of other lies we have been told. but what if no one ever told me these we all lies then i would never know.. the teachers have been giving out false information , it be like having ou math teacher telling you 10 x 10 = 110.i bet over 3/4 of america think those lies are true. if someone came up to me in the street and they were like hey max ill give you $20 if you answer this question right and they say who was the first black baseball player to play proffesionally and i said jackie robinson i wonder if he would say that was correct or he would said no there were others before him... i guess it would depened if he was ever taught what the things he was taught earlier were lies.
