Ellison mounts ended up taking the blame for the murders and was hanged in 1889. After that slaying, cap hatfield kinda laying low after the McCoy murders. He wasn't that involved with the feud. It's not for sure if cap was actually there for the murder of Tolbert, pharmer, and bud McCoy, but that's what is thought about. Pretty much the most important thing they did during the feud was kill Alifair McCoy and walk free. On August 30th, 1930 Cap hatfield passed away due to a brain ailment. I think that's bleeding within the brain. Some other sources show him to have been a man who seemed to resent being used as a Lieutenant by his father, and a man who sought peace later in life first by farming, then by studying to be an attorney, and finally becoming a security guard for a hospital that he later died

    Red Scare: Nicola Sacco And Vanzetti Case

    The big “red scare” of 1919-1920 resulted in a nationwide crusade against left-wingers whose Americanism was suspect and was a godsend to conservative businesspeople, who used it to break the backs of the fledgling unions. “Red Scare” was important, because it led to violations of individual’s rights. Sacco and Vanzetti Case Nicola Sacco, a shoe-factory worker, and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, a fish peddler, were convicted in 1921 of the murder of a Massachusetts paymaster and his guard. The jury and judge were prejudiced in some degree against the defendants because they were Italians, atheists, and draft dodgers.…

    Two Slavery In Truman Capote's In Cold Blood

    Truman Capote’s first non-fiction novel, “In Cold Blood”, recaps the events around the murder of the Clutter family, by focusing on the two murderers, Dick Hickock and Perry Smith. Throughout the book, Capote acknowledges the perpetrators without a bias perspective, he does this by giving the backstory of both Dick and Perry. Capote does not just focus on the murder, but instead introduces Dick and Perry as two people who made a horrible mistake and deserve sympathy. However, if you sympathize with them is completely up to you, the author does not force you one way or the other. For example, most people began to sympathize with Perry Smith, probably because throughout the book Capote subtly blames Perry’s murder on his own childhood.…
