 * Political Views:** I support Thomas Jefferson, because he gives more freedom to the Indian tribes. Even though I am a slave and he doesn't want to stop slavery I still want there to be more peace. John Adams wants to move the Indians, but Thomas Jefferson wants to keep the Indians where they are. If i could vote I would vote for Thomas Jefferson the Democratic-Republican


 * Political Views on Current Issues:**
 * Native American Removal- I don't think they should of removed the Indians from where they lived. They weren't harming anyone, and I think it wasn't fair how they made them walk 850 miles to their new location. A lot of them died from illnesses. I don't think it was the wrong idea to kill the people who signed the petition, but if I was in the tribe i would of have killed those people. What those people did to the Indian tribe was wrong. They shouldn't have moved taken the Indians from their homes and made them walk 850 miles where a lot of their people died.
 * Fugitive Slave Act- I don't think the Fugitive Slave Act was fair, because I think it is unfair how they make you chase the slaves even if your an abolitionist. It was not fair that slaves didn't to testify or get a jury. I do not like how the white people keep ruining the African American's lives. I would not want to pay 1,000 dollars just for not chasing one of my own people. I would hate it if i accused of being a fugitive slave if I was a free slave.


 * Favorite Activities and Interests**: Sewing quilts, cattle shows and sleigh rides
