How were the Mexican Americans portrayed in the Mass Media?
Unfortunately, Mexican Americans not always receive the best coverage in the news.
It seems that is a lot of stereotyping and prejudice when talking about Mexican Americans. They are not portrayed in the best way possible because most of the time, mass media shares the story of poor Mexican immigrants that had to cross the border legally or illegally, and started to work in the United States in low paid jobs such as gardening, plumbing, or in the construction industry. Jobs that most American people would reject.
The stereotype is that these people are lazy and like to party a lot, not being responsible to assume their labor commitments.
But the truth is that these Mexican Americans are very hard-working people because they have to make ends meet working in two different jobs to try to make a decent living for their families. Indeed, these people have helped the US economy to grow, forming an important social group that in recent years has captured the interest of political candidates during elections.
Answer:
The turning point of the Civil War was the Battle of Gettysburg, fought near Gettysburg , Pennsylvania , on July 1-3, 1863. The Northern Virginia army, commanded by Confederate chief commander, Gen. Robert E. Lee, faced the Union Army of the Potomac headed by Gen. George G. Meade. After having smashed Union forces at Chancellorsville, Lee invaded the North for a second time. The battle lasted 3 days of ferocious, bloody and brutal fight. The most famous part of the battle is the charge of Gen. George Pickett´s division with 15,000 men against the lines of the Northern infantry, an action that ended in utter failure. The stakes were high: Lee had invaded Northern territory and wanted to advance to Washington to force the Abraham Lincoln´s government to negotiate peace in disadvantage. His defeat not only forced him to go back to Virginia: the South was never able to threaten the North again and since that moment on, fought only on the defensive. Casualties mounted to 51,000 on both sides, the bloodiest single battle of the war.
