So the article talks about Biswas and how he historically shaped the basis for modern American developments. Biswas was born in February 1709 as a young boy and died in 1785 and left three children. Biswas with 76 years and royal American citizens mourned since his role was great in fighting for human rights as an activist. Biswas was of American race and grew while at Trinidad. Biswas grew with his poor parents, and their humble background motivated him to work hard in school until he became a lawyer.

Biswas experiences in law school enabled him to join political movements as an activist in America.
Also, Biswas married Esther Leakey and was blessed with three siblings. His leadership emphasized on the involvement of people in democratic rights like voting, irrespective of their racial background. Biswas had a great determination in life, and his character was appropriate for conducting leadership duties, and this served as his main strength. However, it was Biswas's weakness to be unable to work in a team and thus liked doing most of the duties alone. Biswas did not believe in delegation of duties; therefore, he worked for long hours trying to accomplish all duties by himself. Natural touring was his best leisure, and Biswas enjoyed telling stories with his close friends. Biswas liked observing animals and could spend time around the park enjoying how animals move freely. He also liked reading and was famous as a state lawyer who advocated for the end of slavery (Kauffman 198-200). Biswas disliked violence and wanted people to live in peace.
Part A: New World
Biswas could be important in the reconstruction process of America as a Human Rights Activist. Prior to 1590, Biswas was interested in seeing all Black American citizens voting for their leaders. Black Americans were not allowed to vote in general elections by then, and he could not allow that discrimination to continue. His thoughts as an activist would inspire people and American presidents to date and admire the inspirations of Biswas (McCrary 3).
If Biswas was American activist prior to1590, he could promote leadership by advising national leaders in America to treat all American citizens equally, irrespective of their racial backgrounds. Biswas could share political events of other nations with the American political leaders, and this could keep all leaders informed. As a human activist in America, Biswas could also analyze political events and give views on how they violate human rights of minorities in America. Being a human rights activist prior to 1590, Biswas could evaluate programs of various institutions and make consigning recommendations to the organizations.
As a Human rights activist, Biswas could provide a source of criticism to public issues, events and political issues addressed by media. Biswas could also participate in preparing speeches, legislative proposals and policies for use by the American government as an attempt to see all human rights respected. As human rights activist prior to 1590, Biswas could test and develop political ideologies with themes of equality and free participation of all American citizens in general elections.
In addition, Biswas as an activist could engage in identification of research issues, evaluation of government programs; give clear recommendations and advice where necessary. He could also participate in American's decision making, problem solving and provision of relevant solutions to various issues affecting American government. America could have the best human rights activist ever lived prior to 1590 if Biswas was present. Biswas's heroism was evident after reconstructions he made concerning human justice. Biswas's interview on human justice is a clear indication that he could have fought for rights of American citizens (McCrary 2-3).
Part B: Colonial period
Biswas's dream was great, and as an activist, he could have influenced massive protests in case human rights were violated. His great dream to his hometown revealed that he loved his origin, and could fight for the end of colonialism in America which was associated with slavery and violation of human rights. Biswas disliked discrimination, and in case he existed between 1607 and 1750, he could advocate for human rights as a lawyer and a human rights activist (Bloodworth 1012). He could oppose colonialists in 1960s and lead campaigns against their harsh treatments to American natives. Therefore, as a human rights activist, Biswas could have advocated for fundamental fairness to humanity.
Challenges experienced during colonial era like slavery could be solved by Biswas if he was a human rights activist. Biswas could transform leadership and ensure justice prevails. More so, he could ensure all rights are granted and not denied anyone because of his or her racial background in America. Therefore, if Biswas lived during the colonial period, he could ensure 'American Dream' is achieved, and all Americans contribute positively to the development of the economy by participating in electing leaders, who protect rights of all Americans.
Part C: Prelude to Independence
Biswas could aim at influencing changes to various political events as an activist to ensure slavery was curved. He was against slavery, and if he existed between 1750-1776, Biswas could have united all Americans through his motivational speeches in public. He could ensure peace and justice prevail before the revolutionary war by visiting various regions in America sensitizing Americans on the need of uniting. Biswas had great ideas and could help Americans to be transformed and end racial differences. Biswas needed change and advocated for freedom, and this could serve as a remedy for revolutionary war (Bloodworth 1012).
More so, Biswas had a guiding principle as an activist that required people to unite, hence there was no need for war and slavery. All men would unite and slaves released. Biswas had great political ideas and would be important if he shared his thoughts in public before the war for self-rule in America. Biswas as an activist could explain that revolutionary war was not to benefit American states alone, but all nations who faced colonial mistreatments like slavery and racial discriminations. Americans, therefore, could be delighted to have Biswas as a human rights activist in early 1750s.
Part D: Revolutionary war
Biswas as a human rights activist liked equality. During the revolutionary war, he could help his fellow American natives to fight for their freedom if he existed. Freedom could ensure slavery ends and American economy grows. Biswas was gifted in leading revolutionary reforms and could ensure revolutionary war meets its target intended by Americans. He could be helpful in the revolutionary war as an activist who could deliver the right information to Americans in a passionate way. The revolutionary war in 1775 needed Biswas's intervention since he could help in ending tension created by the colonial government to residents in North America. Biswas had leadership skills admired by many leaders, both in ancient and modern periods (McCrary 3).
Part E: First Seminole War (1817 - 1818)
As an activist, Biswas could at this time give fair guidelines on how to deal with black slaves living in Seminole Bands. Biswas could criticize General Andrew Jackson who mandated the attack since he valued human dignity and disliked violence as an activist. Biswas disposition to unite nations and people could make him quote a speech that could stop attacks. His total dislike of any kind of discrimination could make him support black slaves living in Seminole bands, an action that could stop the invasion (Bloodworth 1012).
As a human rights activist, Biswas's idea of inculcating peace and harmony among people could help him change the American's negative look of black people during the first Seminole war. His interest in political arena could help him to conspire with other politicians in fighting for the right of other civilians in the country. Biswas could aim at the formation of laws which would favor black slaves living in Seminole Bands in Georgia Florida. Biswas's idea such as that of Emancipation Proclamation could help in curbing slavery in America. Biswas gland vision of expanding the United States of America could make him fight against slavery. Biswas was clever enough to cope with all kinds of situations that he encountered; he could passionately encourage and support black slaves living in Seminole bands.
Biswas was talented in decision making as an activist, and if he existed between 1817 - 1818, First Seminole War could not have occurred. In his biography, he is termed as a risk-taker who could not allow his fellow citizens to encounter any form of discrimination. Biswas could motivate young lawyers in America; hence no attacks would happen if he was alive between 1817 - 1818 (McCrary 3).
