<u>Thoughts I have as a free man:</u>
Years of oppression are over and finally I am a free man. For the first time in all these years in this country I feel optimistic about my future. I was forcibly taken away from my homeland at a very young age and brought to this country.
I have worked day and night on the fields of this country. Never was my work regarded or never was I treated with respect. Now I believe I will be treated with respect like every other American.
Now this is my home too. I believe I too am part of this land, the land where I have toiled for years. Now that slavery is abolished and we are granted citizenship I know that I as well as my future generations can live on this land as free people with dignity.
They didnt like it they shut down ANC quickly and mandela he was sent to prision for about 20 years
There's about 79 Active hate groups in Orange County, California therefore I'd say it's pretty big.
It gave them the right to fight for the sates of kansas and nebraska because if the won there would be more slave states than free.
