Whites or dominant group--The dominant group (whites) used prejudice and poor conditions to justify continued poor treatment of minorities especially blacks in America.

The American Dilemma is a concept that the US believes in equality and opportunity but has used their prejudicial beliefs to discriminate against blacks in America. The poor conditions created less success and then "proved" to whites that they were not an equal race thus justifying unfair treatment.

What did Robert E. Lee believe about the Union.

Mashutka [201]

Lee didn’t think badly of the Union. In fact he greatly apposed secession, the separating of the Confederation from the Union. However he would go on to resign from the US Army, deny the chance of being a general in the Union, and become a top general in the Confederation feeling he owed more loyalty to his state then the entire government. Lee could not go against “his own people” as he was born and raised in Virginia, feeling a great sense of loyalty to them even if he felt what they were doing compared to the Union was wrong.
