 * Political Views: I would have voted for Thomas Jefferson because he supported plantation owners.**


 * Political Views on Current Issues:**
 * Native American Removal-I am not for removing the Native Americans. I think it is wrong. The Native Americans were here first and now being removed from their homeland. I think we were being a little greedy. We don't need that much land yet with a small population. We are treating them wrong. I don't think they're savages. I feel bad for the Native Americans. My master says I'm wrong. He's the one who told me all about the Native Americans.
 * Fugitive Slave Act- I believe that the fugitive slave act is a bad thing. My master told me about the slave narratives. I feel bad for the slaves because I realized how bad slavery actually is. I am not a slave myself so I don't know how it is. He also read me //Uncle Tom's Cabin.// I thought it was very interesting. If I were a slave I would run away, but I wouldn't be safe until I got to Canada because of this law. I think this law is pointless.


 * Favorite Activities and Interests**: Making maple syrup, sewing quilts, singing lessons, reading lessons, marbles, and sleigh rides

19th Century Reform Movement: I think what people did to the mentally ill was wrong. I read in the newspaper that they chained them to chairs to try and calm them down. Who does that?!? They probably made it worse for the mentall ill. I also read that they beat them to get they illness out of them. That is the most wierdest thing I have ever heard. I feel bad for the mentally ill. I know I would'nt want to be beat if I were mentally ill.
