Stereotypes in Gunsmoke

One stereotype i saw in Gun smoke as a rich white land owner. He owned the land that railroad workers where trying to build through. The white land owner runs over and says you cannot build here, this is my land and i have rights. The railroad workers do not listen to the man and escort him away to continue their work. This was true back in the 1800's when there was so much land to give out that they did not care what land was yours because they had so much of it. Another stereotype i saw in Gun smoke was a man that was hung because he was accosted with murder. With out thinking the Cowboys throw a rope around a tree and hang the man. He kept saying you have got the wrong man and later in the episode they found out that they did hang the wrong man. This a stereotype of what happened if they through you had done something wrong. You would get no trial or anything and would be put to death. Stereotypes where very clear and correct i thought in this series.
