In October 1774, at the First Continental Congress, Joseph Galloway pleaded to his fellow countrymen for unity between the “mother country” and America, but his impressive life within the American system was not enough to break the strong urge for independence. Galloway had chosen to be a loyalist but when he did he was declaring his home as his opposition. Joseph Galloway was a true American that had the potential to play a large part in the future democracy due to his past as a lawyer, as an elected official, and a close relationship with Benjamin Franklin, which were all shown through his appearances in Philadelphia’s Supreme Court, his elected position as Speaker in a provincial assembly, and his correspondence with Franklin. Galloway experienced success while performing his duties in the several different positions he held, but his life in America was not enough to persuade him of America’s power or how influential he could have been in America’s future.

Today’s issue with schools named after our first prime minister, John A. Macdonald may not be worth doing something about but maybe having a good discussion about. Changing the names of monuments and things named after historical figures from the past because of racism is not ideal because of how things were and how people thought in the past which cannot be judged by our present eyes but maybe, the reasons for their wrongdoings could be well understood now for humanity to never make the same mistakes and move forward into a better future where our past is understood and respected but also seen both the good way and the bad way.

Scott happened to be of African descent which was an extremely difficult obstacle to live with in early America. The Dred Scott decision made by the supreme court in March of 1857 negatively impacted the United States by empowering the South, contributing to the secession, and expediting the Civil War.
