Have you ever known someone who’s goals seem a little unrealistic but they still have a slight chance of accomplishing them if they just work hard enough? Well, my new friend, Grayson Harman, has every ounce of his body working to attend OSU, Arkansas, or MIT in order to get a degree in electrical or chemical engineering. He may be a whopping 5’8 but his goals have no limits. The best part about him is that he is not only an intelligent student but he is also an athlete who dominates in all competitions. His two favorite sports are Boxing and Baseball. He is also a “kraken” catching fisherman striving to be like one of the characters out of his favorite movie, Forest Gump. You could also consider him to be a daredevil in some aspects of life.
Noah Haynes Swayne was born December 7,1804 and he passed away on June 8,1884. Swayne was born in Frederick County, Virginia. His parents were staunch Quakers, and Swayne's strong antislavery views may have been shaped by Quaker hostility to the practice. When Swayne's instructor passed away, his plans to become a physician had changed. Then he had turned to the study of law and was admitted to the bar before his 21st birthday. Choosing not to practice in Virginia, however, he moved in 1823 across the river to Ohio, a free state. There his vigorous antislavery views may have contributed to the rapid growth of his legal practice.

Does the Dred Scott decision contradict The Declaration of Independence which states that every man is created equal?
