President George H.W. Bush is a very conservative and pragmatic leader. He showed these traits in dealing with foreign affairs. Before acting on a situation, he studies the policies first. An example of his conservatism and pragmatism involved China.
When the Chinese government gunned down their people who conducted a peaceful protest, the US government didn't react as harshly as its people wanted. They imposed limited sanctions. This is because President Bush knows that they still have to deal with China in the future. He did not burn down the bridge on this foreign relation.

Emmett Till was a teenage boy who was visiting his grandparents in Mississippi when he was killed. Supposedly Emmett whistled at a white female store owner after making a purchase. When the women's husband, Roy Bryant, found out about this situation he recruited JW Milam (his brother in law) to find the boy and punish him.
Ultimately, Bryant and Milam find Emmett Till at his grandparent's house. From there they kidnap him, beat him to death, and then throw him in a river where his body is found a few days later. These two men were accused of homicide but found guilty by an all white jury.
