The members of the Graham family have basically two different points of view, some defend slavery and war, and some are against it.
Explanation:
During dinner time the Graham family have a strong conversation with really different points of view, while Creighton is against war and slavery, Wiles defends the idea of war and is against the arguments of president Lincoln when he tries to create a peaceful environment for both sides of the coin. Really angry, Wiles states that the greatest problem is greed more than slavery. He mentions as well that the south and north should be separated each one with its own ideas. He thinks, the south should simply stay alone and leave in peace the north with its slave. During the argument, it is also possible to notice how Tom stays quite but also really angry about the fight.
The GI Bill was intended to help veterans get on their feet to get an education and a job. Although this sounds good in theory (it is still in act today) this led to the segregation of whites and minorities as majority of the veterans were white males. These veterans would go on to get degrees that would earn them higher wages further dividing the wage gap between whites and minorities.
