Patriots Pen "What Would You Ask?"

         Authors note: I got this idea partly from the "Patriots Pen" from 2011 and I tried to get as much detail, and different choices of words.

   If I had one chance to talk to one of the founding fathers, I would ask them to rethink the idea of “All men are created equal”. Because even though others may have different colored skin, it doesn’t mean that they, or anyone else are less than the other.

            They should have thought about what it was like in the others point of view. If the founding fathers had realized what they were doing was so horrible, it makes you wonder if they would have changed their mind. Imagine if that one decision was different. How it would impact our everyday life.

            The Civil War wouldn’t have happened, and thousands of lives would have been saved. The men and women from Africa may have not come until later in our history, and everything would have changed. If we have not had slaves, then many may have not had a chance to invent the things they invented. Those people would have had most likely been working in the fields, or may have even been dealing with something else.

            In my opinion, all of the slavery should have never happened, what happened was horrible. Because they were different, they were treated bad. This is like everyday life now. There are many examples such as the presidential election of 2012. Both of the runners up are different races, which may or may not affect the way people vote.

            In history tough decisions will have to be made, and many tough ones have already been made. The way things happen in life will always be the same. It’s part of being human, to blame the weaker, or join forces and go against others. We can’t change what happens, or what happened. We just have to live with all of the choices we make.
