Dear Millard Fillmore,
Slavery should not be allowed allowed to spread west because there is already to much slavery as is in this "Beautiful" country of yours. If this was really a free nation then why would you let humans own other humans? If you honor your bill of rights than us slaves should be free. If you don't want your new country to crumble, than honor what you promised. Instead of just having the free states and the slave states be balanced, terminate slavery for all of the states, and let all of us be equally free. For the people who own slaves in the slave states, make it so the slaves are given shelter, food, clothing and a wage. Even if the wage is small, and the clothing is not brand new, and the food scarce, it would still mean that we would be free, and that we would have the chance to save all of our money, and maybe one day have enough money to start our own farm or business.
