 * Name**: Lief O'Malley


 * Date of Birth**: November 17, 1782


 * Gender**: male


 * Race**: Irish


 * Family Members:**


 * Occupation**: farmer


 * Current State of Residence**: Maine


 * Hometown (City and State)**:Limerick, Ireland


 * Political Views:** I voted for Democratic Republican Thomas Jefferson because he supports small farmers and believes in common people in government.


 * Political Views on Current Issues:**
 * **Native American Removal:** I learned from my mother that Indians are savages who kill and burn people alive.She said they scalp americans. I think it is good that Indians are being removed. It will make me feel more safe. I have seen pictures of Indians to terrible things. I have seen innocent farmers like me being attacked and held prisoner while the father is being burned. They won't be able to do those things to my family once they are west. I am christian but I do not think I could help any of those savages.
 * **Fugitive slave act:** I am against the fugitive slave act. I am against having extra help on my farm beside my family. Also, I have read //Uncle Tom's Cabin// and have heard Frederick Douglas speak. I would also not want any police officer deputizing me. It would take up too much of my time. The slave had already made it that far. Imagine if you were a slave that escaped all the way to New Hampshire and then suddenly be chased by 10 innocent New Hampshire citizens.


 * Favorite Activities and Interests**: Barn Raising, Cow Shows.


 * Reform Movement:** I heard from my brother that they are making a juvenile court. Now children will not be charged as adults.
