10. Memories As the years go by …. The whole world will never go back to the past ,the past, it’s always rough, especially looking back remembering all the best friends you don’t see anymore , over silly old friends just over what you used to say about them, before you got to know them. What a wonderful world by Louis Armstrong.

11. Louis Armstrong “What a Wonderful World”

12. Racism Racism wasn’t at all pretty with the Caucasians. They Caucasians stuck-up which could be could be visualized by what was seen when Mr. Simms acted like he was better in every aspect of life just because he Jean were Caucasian. Mr. Simms and Jean thought they were better than every African American in the state.

13. Brad Paisley and LL Cool J “Accidental Racist” To the man that waited on me at the Starbucks down on Main, I hope you understandWhen I put on that t-shirt, the only thing I meant to say is I'm a Skynyrd fanThe red flag on my chest somehow is like the elephant in the corner of the southAnd I just walked him right in the roomJust a proud rebel son with an 'ol can of wormsLookin' like I got a lot to learn but from my point of viewI'm just a white man comin' to you from the southlandTryin' to understand what it's like not to beI'm proud of where I'm from but not everything we've doneAnd it ain't like you and me can re-write historyOur generation didn't start this nationWe're still pickin' up the pieces, walkin' on eggshells, fightin' over yesterdayAnd caught between southern pride and southern blameThey called it Reconstruction, fixed the buildings, dried some tearsWe're still siftin' through the rubble after a hundred-fifty yearsI try to put myself in your shoes and that's a good place to beginBut it ain't like I can walk a mile in someone else's skin'Cause I'm a white man livin' in the southlandJust like you I'm more than what you seeI'm proud of where I'm from but not everything we've doneAnd it ain't like you and me can re-write historyOur generation didn't start this nationAnd we're still paying for the mistakesThat a bunch of folks made long before we cameAnd caught between southern pride and southern blame

14. Accidental Racist Continued Dear Mr. White Man, I wish you understoodWhat the world is really like when you're livin' in the hoodJust because my pants are saggin' doesn't mean I'm up to no goodYou should try to get to know me, I really wish you wouldNow my chains are gold but I'm still misunderstoodI wasn't there when Sherman's March turned the south into firewoodI want you to get paid but be a slave I never couldFeel like a new fangled Django, dodgin' invisible white hoodsSo when I see that white cowboy hat, I'm thinkin' it's not all goodI guess we're both guilty of judgin' the cover not the bookI'd love to buy you a beer, conversate and clear the airBut I see that red flag and I think you wish I wasn't hereI'm just a white man(If you don't judge my do-rag)Comin' to you from the southland(I won't judge your red flag)Tryin' to understand what it's like not to beI'm proud of where I'm from(If you don't judge my gold chains)But not everything we've done(I'll forget the iron chains)It ain't like you and me can re-write history(Can't re-write history baby)Oh, Dixieland(The relationship between the Mason-Dixon needs some fixin')I hope you understand what this is all about(Quite frankly I'm a black Yankee but I've been thinkin' about this lately)I'm a son of the new south(The past is the past, you feel me)And I just want to make things right(Let bygones be bygones)Where all that's left is southern pride(RIP Robert E. Lee but I've gotta thank Abraham Lincoln for freeing me, know what I mean)It's real, it's realIt's truth

15. WealthLarge factors were wealth and being Caucasian within “Miss' Lillian Jean” and her daddy.She thought her and daddy were going to be scare.Cassie had to apologize to Lillian Jean by her daddy going behind Cassie and twisting her arm.I know that was a move to make him “look a big guy with a bear skin rug, when everyone knows its fake, just to like he did, but that's faux fur, you can't hide those lies”.

16. Cyndi Lauper “Money Changes Everything” • She said I'm sorry baby I'm leaving you tonight I found someone new he's waitin' in the car outside Ah honey how could you do it We swore each other everlasting love She said well yeah I know but when We did - there was one thing we weren't Really thinking of and that's money - Money changes everything Money, money changes everything We think we know what we're doin' That don't mean a thing It's all in the past now Money changes everything They shake your hand and they smile And they buy you a drink They say we'll be your friends We'll stick with you till the end Ah but everybody's only Looking out for themselves And you say well who can you trust I'll tell you it's just Nobody else's money - Money changes everything Money changes everything We think we know what we're doin We don't pull the strings It's all in the past now Money changes everything Money changes everything Money changes everything We think we know what we're doing We don't know a thing It's all in the past now Money changes everything Money changes everything Money changes everything

17. Logan Land Land that Cassie Grandfather owned. It meant a lot to the family because it was their livelihood. All of their chores and food depended on the land.

18. Portrayed throughout the story: Stacey didn’t want to see his best friend get lynched. After RW and Melvin convinced him that they were friends they robbed Mr. Barnett’s store for a pearl-handled pistol. T.J. would give his life for that pistol and eventually he did with his life. That is irony.

19. Lady Antebellem “One Day You Will” You feel like youre falling backwardsLike youre slippin through the cracksLike no one would even noticeIf you left this town and never came back You walk outside and all you see is rainYou look inside and all you feel is painAnd you cant see it now But down the road the sun is shiningIn every cloud theres a silver liningJust keep holding on(Just keep holding on) And every heartache makes you strongerBut it wont be much longerYoull find love, youll find peaceAnd the you youre meant to beI know right now thats not the way you feelBut one day you will You wake up every morning and ask yourselfWhat am I doing here anywayWith the weight of all those disappointmentsWhispering in your ear

30. RacistsA big part of the story was Mr. Simms, his daughter Lillie Jean thinking she was better than Cassie. The midnight riders would tar and feather African Americans because they did not like them. The would do anything to embarrass them. They had really fancy cars. They would lynch anyone who got in their way.RW and Melvin were the main cause of TJ lynching.

31. Main cause of lynching Whites did not like the African Americans or their ideas. They thought the whites were better in every aspect of life. The whites were jealous of the African American family unity. Mr. Morrison made the whites look back when they broke Papa's leg. Mr. Morrison broke RW and Melvin's leg and a guy whose name was not mentioned in the stories back.
