Impact on society

• Jesse James had a major impact on society in the
  1800s. He and his passé were the most notorious
  bank robbers of Missouri. The James passé got
  away with some money at every bank they robbed.
  Even when the James passé robbed a bank or a
  train, they gave to the poor. So even though
  Jesse robbed banks and shot people, he had a big
  heart and cared about others as well as his
  family and himself
