(born about 1885) was taught in school ( not completely accurately) in the BWI that Queen Victoria ended slavery in England and the Commonwealth by saying she would not rule over a dominion half free, half slave. For the rest of his long life he championed women in government.

My husband supported Hillary over Obama; this year he supported Hillary over Bernie, although Bernie more closely aligns with his beliefs.

Ideas learned young enough can have long-lasting effects.
