I can proudly and firmly say that I am a Conservative Republican. Reason being is that I stand behind the constitution, and behind our founding fathers. Ways of life has drastically changed from a hundred years ago to today. I wouldn't say by any means for the best either. America had been built by people with good morals, people with motivation, people with determination to make something greater than anything, and they succeeded for a long time, but today it seems that success and good has been thrown down the drain, like it doesn't matter anymore, and in most cases, it is true. Most people today do not care, they want what's best for them, not the people around them, people want to know what America can do for them, not what they can do for America. One hundred years ago it was the exact opposite.

The America I believe in has been erased by mankind's selfishness. It’s a nation where we can be proud to sing home of the brave. I want to be proud, but it is hard when I turn on the news and see all these people who are in poverty. We turn our cheek because it is not us in trouble, but I cannot help but wonder: Why are we so disgusted by taxes when we have the money to pay them? Why do we turn people away at the door because we are scared of what they might be? Why do we assume there is no good left in anyone but us fortunate, we are truly where the finger should be pointed? Why don't we care just a little bit more about anyone but who we are close to? We often get angry when we are forced to pay for things

Life in the Southern part of the United States during the late 1950’s was a time of great conflict. Blacks and Whites did not see eye to eye. John Howard Griffin makes an effort to document these times by portraying himself as a black man in South.
