ESSAY ON: Being White in America in the 19th Century

Number of Pages 6

This research paper: A 6 page paper using Michael Moore’s philosophy of fear in America as presented in his film, “Bowling for Columbine” to define what it meant to be white in the 19th century. The overall effect of the subtleties of fear in the Victorian era; murder of Native Americans in the West; virtual enslavement in Northeastern sweatshops; and the pressures of race relations in the South combined to give whites the appearance of being superior without in actuality being superior at all. Being white in America in the 19th century brought the greatest chance of achieving economic success, but translated into living a life of fear in which there was danger lurking around every corner. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
