In its most evil Day America has had people who showed a high degree of Ethics.In 1812 there was already a substantial minority of Americans who wanted to abolish Slavery, and treat Native American Indians fairly. There were two major political parties at the time, Republicans and Federalists, yet the ground of division between parties was wilting away. Because both parties were dominated by rich White Men.In 1812 Canada remain a problem for American Slavers Because Canada had outlawed Slavery in 1793. However a more pressing problem for american Slavers was Florida. Florida was close to large populations of Slaves. In 1812 Spain owned Florida, and still allowed Slavery. Slaves still escape to Florida. Spain allowed this if they would convert to Catholicism. The key thing to remember about the war of 1812 was not who won the Battle of New Orleans. The war of 1812 was about two American Aims taking more territory, invading Canada and taking Indian land. And enlarging the Institution of Slavery.
Well we see the greed of the American elite, And what mattered at that time.

A strong Black pioneer.
I had given you my three strong Black pioneers But if you may allow me to add a fouth.
Let me introduce you to my Great Grand Mother. Mrs Laura Stephenson, I call her Mama. This women was Born from Exslaves.She grew up during years of hardship for Black people in America. She grew up at a time when a Black Man or Woman, had no rights, that a White Man was bound to Honor.But she never lost faith. She just put her head down and moved forward. I do not know where she learn to read, and write, are add and subtract. I do not think she had much formal education, but she love to read and write letters, and do research. And she was very much into American Politics. I do not know if she ever was allowed to vote given the way the southern part of America was structured during her life time. She knew and understood the importance of History. When i was 4yo My Great Grand Mother taught me how to read. I remember her telling me that her eyesight was poor and she needed me to read to her. Well looking back now I know that she wanted to put a strong foundation under my feet. Well this Great women of History, who never Complained, and always believed in moving forward Died March 1960. She went out just like she lived. With Class and a Winning Sprit. One last note on the morning of her Death, she ask me to prey with her, she said I will not be here when you come home from school.
