idea>war!

A war starts and ends with an idea. So the idea must be greater then the war. If a war starts and then people notice which idea is greater more people will join the side that hurts the least amount of people either morally or physically. In the video the lieutenant is asking his man to fight for him for the good of people. If the general asked to kill civilians it might have been a whole different outcome because that would be unmoral. That is why a moral idea can win a war.

Lincoln does the best for himself and the country.

The one that freed the slaves in everyones eyes was Lincoln. The truth is that he did write the emancipation proclamation but all that did was tell everyone he wanted free slaves in the south ,but at that time he didn't control the confederate states of america, so that really didn't do anything. What Lincoln really did was unite the union and the confederate states of america. He wanted the confederate states of america and the union to come back together to make the Untied States of America because they would be stronger together then apart. It would also look bad on his part to become the president that split up the United States of America. That is why Abraham Lincoln wanted to unite the two rather then focus on slavery.

sadly everyone is a tiny bit racist...

Stereotypes are widely known because everyone takes on the beliefs of our parents. That means that we never really lose our heritage because our father would always tell use there views in life and when your little you think your parents know everything. Another reason people might know that there are stereotypes is because some people use them in jokes and lyrics today. I think it is sad that people still think it is funny because it shows low intelligence and it really is funny to make fun of someone else's differences. This does not make it right but it is the reason why people are still fighting over color today.

active government does nothing!

I think that a government which governs least is the best government. this is because the people should do what they want to, and if a government in too controlling the people will not have freedom to do what they want. There are two kinds of people in the world. The kind that survive so they can see life roll bye and people that live life to the fullest. If a government is too active it makes the people who just want to survive easier for them, but harder for the people that want to get far in life. So the government that governs least is the best government!
