Stereotypes

Stereotypes are widely used in society because thats what we are used to. In history we taught that a type of person looked one specific way. For example, we learned that slaves always were on then plantation and they were always chained. Which wasnt always the case some slaves were kept inside and if they were on plantations they werent chained. Another type oif stereotype there is how the slave owners looked, they said to wear a suit and a tall hat and live in a white colonial home. Which wasnt the case if anything they wore a suit but not a hat, and their houses werent white they were probably brown houses.
