Many of our current laws are directly derived from Roman law. For example, "trial by jury," which is a common feature of the American legal system, can be traced back to Roman law. In Rome, when the accuser faced the death penalty, he might be tried in front of people from the community. Another example is the presumption of innocence. This means that the accused is assumed to be innocent until proven guilty.

Similarities--whites were in the dominant group in each region. Violence was common to exert power over the minority racial group to include lynchings. Voting and citizenship restrictions were also in place against the minority groups.

Differences--the targeted group in the South were blacks and in the West were blacks but also the Chinese population. In the South, racial order was the motivation for much of the racial conflict. In the West, job competition was the basis for much of the racial conflict.
