To The Barzili Lew,
I am Peter Salem, and I’m from Framingham Massachusetts and was born in 1750 . I was born a slave along with my friend Barzillai Lew, and we have black skin so only our families respects us. I never liked my child years because all I did was work. I was a soldier though for Massachusetts during the revolutionary war even though blacks were hated back then and that is not good at all.
I also fought in Concorde for the battle of Lexington and Concorde and in the battle of Bunker hill. I was never a leader or a very important person in the war, I was just a normal soldier. After all of the battle I went back to slavery a little bit more and after they released me I lived a peaceful life with not much harm.
Sincerely, Peter Salem

Reflection
Mrs. Kliest and Mrs. Cerniglia wanted us to do a project where you pick a person from the American revolution and research and write a letter on him or her and his beliefs and stuff like that so it will be put up in a museum under a portrait of him or her. But my person was hard to research because he wasn't very important back then and didn't stand out in the important name of the American Revolution. So I found two websites and studied them top to bottom and understand everything about my character. Then I made the letter and chose my three artifacts for the museum also and then I was done.
