 * Political Views on Current Issues:**
 * Native American Removal- I am so far not supporting the removal. I still do not understand the Americans contempt for the Indians. The Americans present such savage images but these cannot be proven to me unless I were to see it with my own eyes. I have traded with them and they did not attempt to harm me in any way. These pictures also bring to mind for me a question. Are the Indians savages or are they simply meeting violence with violence?


 * Political Views: Union**- I support the Union as much as possible. I have set off to become a Union cook and so far my regiment has not shifted. We are a co-race regiment and I see that the African Americans in my regiment are extremely determined to end this. I will help them in any way I can.

 * 19th Century Reform Movement**: Sending letters with my sisters they have brought up a significant subject, Women's Suffrage. I am supporting them in this for everyone deserves the right to vote and work. Women have begun working more often in the factories and mills so why c an they not vote? They are as much as citizens as any man and often times they have the ability to show more talent than any of us. They have ideas and thoughts and they have the voice to say them.
