What is all the fuss about?
Why are man and woman not created equal? Mary Wollstonecraft asked the same question when she came out with her pamphlet called, A Vindication of the Rights of Women which was inspired by Thomas Paine's Rights of Man. She thought that the rights of humanity should not be confined to the male line. She merely wanted women to have to opportunity to support themselves and survive without a man if chosen to.
In other news, we have convicted ten people under an act we created called the Sedition Act. These people were convicted for spreading rumors or false, scandalous, and malicious information about our hard working government. We like to refer to this with a nick name called the "reign of witches."
Though we are working hard in many aspects of the colony, we have not seemed to conjure up a cure for slavery. Our first Congress under the new constitution has been receiving petitions calling for emancipation. We have even had Benjamin Franklin signing off on things to help push the issue. Just know we are trying to handle and please all of our very important citizens and please be patient with us.
