Dear President Fillmore,

   You have recently been elected president of the United States and I hope you will be able to make some serious changes that I, as well as many other people feel strongly about. My name is Jonah, and I am a slave. As someone who has been a slave their entire life, and have no rights, I believe we should not continue this policy as out country continues to greatly expand. With more free people in this country, it would create more business and higher earnings for out economy. I really do hope this letter will convince you to abolish slavery and keep it from spreading west.

Sincerely,

Jonah
