Mr. President Millard Fillmore, 
Please don't allow slavery to expand West. Slavery is a plague, that spreads horrific consequences to those who comply. Slavery is a violation of my rights. Half of the country is already contaminated by the idea that slavery is somehow appropriate. Mr. President, please walk a mile in my shoes a bit. How would you feel if greedy strangers trying to begin a new country ripped you from everything you knew previously, and took you away from your family and your life. Slavery should not exist as is, and spreading it could ruin the lives of so many more  people like me. Everything you are for as a country is contradicted by the actions of slave owners. 
                    Sincerely, 
                          Me, a slave since 1850
