Sen.+George+Hoar+-+F08

I, George Frisbie Hoar, was born in Concord, Massachusetts. I was part of a very wealthy family that put me throught Harvard College until 1846 and then Harvard Law School until 1849. After college, I settled down in Worcester, Massachusetts and practiced law there. Back when the Free Soil Party existed, I was a pretty avid supporter of their beliefs, but did not take a physical role in the party. I was the main organizer and supporter of the Republican Party in Massachusetts after the Civil War. I was then elected to the House of Representatives in 1869 until 1877, then became a senator until 1904. I was also the Chairman of the Republican National Convention in 1888 My support towards the people includes everything about human rights. I am a promoter of Women's Sufferage and Black Rights, and I fought against the Chinese Exclusion Act. But these other ideas aside, my concerns towards the annexation of the Philipines are about the people of the Philipines. I oppose the invasions and slaughter of the Philipinians. The Philipines should be their own independent nation. Who are we to impose our government and our ideals onto a totally different culture?
