The Liberator Analysis

Remaining in Boston, Gideon and I found an issue of The Liberator – a corrupt, disgraceful paper filled with words that fully go against the patriotic beliefs of our Founding Fathers! Father was right about the absurd radical abolition ideas of the Yankees who constantly whine about the troubling issues with the blacks despite our southerners’ large investment in slaves for the better good of our economy!

The rest of the night not policeman came knocking into the inn, because by morning, Gideon revealed to me that he brilliantly paid the police the night before. Gideon was always the more intellectual one with his quick thinking on his feet, whereas I was impulsive to chase my dreams.
