 * Political Views:** If I could vote I would vote for Thomas Jefferson because he supports the states rights and I think I should have the right to my freedom.


 * Political Views on Current Issues:**
 * Native American Removal- In my opinion I do not like the fact that the white people are trying to remove Native Americans. I am against the white people because they have enslaved me and a lot of other people of my race They are not being fair.
 * Fugitive Slave Act- I am against the fugitive slave act. I am a slave myself. I do not think white people should be able to capture any slave that has gotten into a free state.If they have gotten into a free state then they should be free. No one should be able to come and take them back into slavery. We should be enslaved in the first place. Slavery is unfair and cruel, and I am not supporting the fugitive slave act.
 * Civil War- I am against the confederacy. I am with the Union. Slaves shouldn't be enslaved. It isn't fair to anyone, especially the slaves. I'm on the side of the Union because they are fighting against slavery. Since I am a African American I don't like the Confederacy.
