Slavery is an issue that the United States has had to deal with since the early British colonies. The moral, cultural, economic and political impact of slavery in the United States is profound in its magnitude. Slavery shaped the way our nation was formed in everything from political decisions regarding territory to legal recognition and rights of the nation's inhabitants.

I have always been an avid writer. Perhaps that explains why I own and manage three separate websites with all of them dedicated to different subjects. While I am still at the tender age of twenty-one, I like to think that gives me the freedom to write openly and refrain from being overly cynical. Most of my writing deals with current events and politics, although I like to dab into policy on occasion as well.
I am in my Junior year of college, studying Political Science at Indiana University South Bend. I call South Bend home, where I was born and raised. I am the recipient of the Indiana Black Expo's Martin Luther King Jr. Award, having won it in an essay contest in 2002 writing about the perils of racial profiling in the wake of 9/11. The following year I was awarded with the Presidential Award for excellence in education.
My main interests include writing, working on my multiple websites, keeping tabs on the news, watching sports and being with both friends and family. In 2003, I founded the video game news and review website Game Freaks 365. My interest in politics drove me to create kylebell.com in 2007, a political blog meant to generate ideas and debate on policy as well as current events. In March 2008, I founded a third website, Movie Freaks 365.
My main motivation for writing has moved from mostly entertainment critiques to politics. I hope to take my lifelong interest in politics and use it to make a difference in the world. You can call me a dreamer, but isn't that what all writers are anyway?
