Question:Factory workers often created music that served as a form of protest and a way to get them through the long hours of the workday. After reading the lyrics from the "Song of the Shirt", describe what life must have been like for these textile factory workers.
Answer: Their exhausted they worked for hours till their bodies couldn't take anymore, but they would still have to work as long as the boss wanted them too. Then seem like their falling apart, emotionally and physically she says her fingers were worn down. She's hungry, and sad working their tails off sweat dripping off theirs bodies. And thinking humans live so cheap. With her singing this song throughout the day this would keep her going giving her hope as to see the day of being free.

Answer:
I think the struggles in this job is that you have to train these broncos, and sometimes their not always cooperative. By trying to train them it's an all day job, working really hard by training the broncos by what is right and wrong and what they should and should not be doing. Feeding, grooming, cleaning up after them, maybe even getting them sold to a new owner. Maybe your a breeder and you get two broncos to make a new born then you train them and then they get sold. Realities of this job is that you really have to try, and truly care to make them the strongest they are capable of being.

Watch an episode of "Gunsmoke" on Hulu. Analyze and write about what stereotypes you saw in the television show, one of the most popular shows of its time
The country guys were very country did not like black men, very racist. They didnt believe that black people should be treated like white folks. If they suspected a black man with something they would search him immidetiatly versus a white guy they wouldnt force a search on him. Black people were still looked down upon, they thought if you were black than you shouldn't have the same freedoms as if you were white.

Question: During Reconstruction there was great debate over whether the South should be granted amnesty. What are your thoughts? Defend your argument.
Answer: The south did basically get pitty because of Lincolns choice. Lincoln did not want to punish the southerners, or reorganize the southern society. He also wanted the reconstruction to be a very short process, he did not want to have to spend a long time or alot of thought even in this reconstruction. But i feel that the south should get pitty because if Lincoln did not want to spend alot of time on them he didn't feel it as a necessary concern.
