Currently I am going through a lot of things, so if I look a little down or upset,
I'm just a little stressed.

“The plantation owners considered any one who did not own a good deal of property and slaves poor.”
Even people who were not African American were slaves if they did not live up to social standards.
“On January 1, 1863, he signed the Emancipation Proclamation, which made me and all the rest of my race free. We could not be bought and sold any more or whipped or made to work without pay. We were not to be treated as things without souls any more, but as human beings.”

Being property of others, being separated and segregated from others because of my own government, I myself would not be thankful to them. Abraham Lincoln, however, I would thank him and his followers. I would also thank the people who chose to believe that it was wrong. The torture that our own people endured, our friends having gone through that misery… I could list the reasons why I would not be thankful, however; due to my kind nature, I am opposed to violence, rage, and holding grudges. I believe it is not healthy to do such things. I personally, do not think that the idea of being able to even own a person is right, but that my very well be my own biased opinion in others minds.
I believe that everyone is created equal; that no man, woman, or child should be separated, ignored, or treated differently for who they are or how they were born. Being born with a learning disorder, I understand what it’s like to feel different and to be looked down upon by others. I would feel indebted to the people who helped me; but not the people who chose to hurt me. The government would have my thanks for a few things; however they would not have my sympathy for making a bad decision.
