7. No, he wasn't Asian.
If you're still there, Wasted, I'ma go to the chat.
Yup, I'm here, I'm at the chat, and I'm thinking about this person.
I hate to keep asking 'where'; Is this person from North America (even though not Native American)?

8. This person is from North America.
Was this person known more as a politician? (as opposed to 'more as a scientist', since he isn't so much military)
9. This person's prime area of influence was in the political scheme; though he was not a political officeholder.
Did this person sign the Decleration of Independence?
Great question! But:
10. No, this person was not a signatory of the Declaration of Independence.

11. No. He was not a political activist in the runup to, or during, the American War of Independence.
Is this person Canadian? (#12)
Wasted155 said:
12: No.
Freebie: This man gave an impromptu but lauded speech at the funeral of a famous President of the United States.
Since fair is fair, I did tell Wasted in the chat that it's not Sam Houston.
Freebie: It's not Sam Houston.
Is it Frederick Douglass?
It is Frederick Douglass!
Frederick Douglass was born a slave in 1818. He learned to read in defiance of his owners, spreading his knowledge throughout other slaves in his plantations. He used the Underground Railroad to escape to Massachusetts, where he published an autobiography about the life of the slave in the USA. He travelled to the UK and gave speeches on the plight of the American slave; donations in Great Britain were used to purchase his official manumission. Frederick Douglass was a passionate abolitionist who believed the Constitution of the United States would eventually be used to provide equal rights for all people, regardless of race, creed, and gender. He gave an impromptu speech at the funeral of Abraham Lincoln that captured both the slowness of Lincoln's aid to the American slave and eventually praised the deceased for his Emancipation Proclamation - and following through on it. His books and writings are influential to this day in the fights for equality.
SMX's turn.
