Freedom Speech

                                                       
  Let me introduce myself to you. My name is Linda Johnson. I am a white woman living in Massachusetts'. My life has not been easy. To begin with, since I am white, I have no rights. I am not allowed to vote, cannot go to college, and cannot do half the things white men can do. My contributions to to this new country is that I actually disguised myself as a man just to be able to fight in the war. Also, me and other women had camps where we brought them food, and other items that they might needed. People should listen to me because I should have the same rights as anyone else in this country. Without me, the soldiers wouldn’t have been able to survive and so that’s why i think I should have the same rights. In my opinion, the 3/5ths compromise is a bad thing because everyone should be treated as a whole person.  Also because it’s not fair that the citizens give their whole self and are only counted for half of themselves because they don’t give half of themselves when they do their work, so why don’t they tell them to only give half of themselves in their work if they are only going to treat them like that. From my perspective, i believe that everyone should be allowed to vote, but in particular free and enslaved African American slaves because i don’t think that it’s fair that just because they are a different color than you. I would also like to add that The Constitution should give the right to own land to anyone that earns their right to own it because if they work so hard to just be successful then they should be allowed to own. In conclusion, freedom to me is just the act of being able to be, do and say whatever you want without having to be tied down by anything or anyone. You shouldn’t have to work for anyone that can do things themselves without pay, without rights, and being treated worse than an animal. Also, you should be treated as a whole person and not less then what you really are.  after all is lal my life not urs!! and so stop snichinching into my business !!
