Directions: Use the textbook and your notes to identify which individual said the quotes below. 1. A committee was formed to write the Declaration of Independence, but I was the primary author. I relied on ideas first published by John Locke, who said that all people are born with certain natural rights.

2. I was a slave who asked my master if I could become a Patriot spy during the Revolution. With his permission, I volunteered and was sent to traitor Benedict Arnold’s camp where I pretended to be a runaway slave. I gathered information and sent it back to Patriot leaders. Meanwhile, Benedict Arnold asked me to spy on the Patriots. I game him false information. Eventually, I found out that Lord Cornwallis was moving troops near Yorktown, Virginia.

After the Revolution, the Marquis de Lafayette wrote a letter recommending that I be given my freedom, which was granted in 1787.
