Today we talked about racial ineqality which I found a interesting topic since we tend to talk about it a lot in class. We mainly talked about how during the Civil War racial inequality was very small. This can be understood given the circumstances of the nation because of the war. as much as there was little racial inequality during this time the pictures taken then were used in propaganda today. For example, a picutre of union soldiers was cropped to make them look like they were part of the confederacy and this was put on a modern website. I found that very interesting and didn’t quite understand it because what good does a picture from the 1800s have any massive effect on a website promoting racial inequality? To me it’s a waste of time.
