	Biography of Roger Sherman
		Sherman was again a member; but of this day of clouds and darkness, when the storm which had long lowered, began to burst forth on every side, we can take no further notice than to mention, with gratitude and admiration, the firmness of those assembled sages who with courage, breasted themselves to the coming shock.
		Sherman was conspicuous, and contributed, in no small degree, to the perfection of that constitution, under which the people of America have for more than forty years enjoyed as much civil liberty and political prosperity as is, probably, compatible with the lapsed condition of the human race.
		Sherman took his seat and beside him placed one of his children, a small child, a child of his old age; the rest of the family were seated round the room; several of these were now grown up.

	HVCEO - Town of Sherman, Connecticut
		Fertile valley soils are drained northward by Naromi and Wimisink Brooks and southward by Sawmill Brook and the Sherman "arm" or bay of Lake Candlewood.
		The central valley, from Sherman Center north to Gaylordsville, is an area of calcium-rich carbonate bedrock weathered from an ancient sea floor when the original continental shore was thrust upward along with the adjacent mountains.
		Although Sherman lost several good farms, a small number of dwellings and about 900-acres of land to the waters of the lake, it gained a magnificent lakefront of about nine miles with several islands and land for a Town waterfront park.

		Sherman was elected as a Representative to the First United States Congress, and then served as a Senator from 1791 until his death of typhoid in 1793 in New Haven, Connecticut at the age of seventy-two.

	Roger Sherman
		Sherman was a descendant of Captain John Sherman, who settled in Massachusetts in 1636, and the son of a Newton cobbler.
		Elected to serve his community in the colonial legislature (1755-61), Sherman was also justice of the peace for Litchfield County, county judge (1759), and commissary for Connecticut troops (1759), charged with organizing supplies for the militia during the decisive campaign of the French and Indian War.
		Sherman joined the fight for ratification of the new Constitution in Connecticut, enlisting support in a series of open letters in the New Haven Gazette entitled "To the People of Connecticut from A Countryman." He stepped down as a judge on Connecticut's superior court to serve as a representative in the First U.S. Congress (1789-91).

	sherman
		Born to a farm family in Massachusetts, Sherman moved to Connecticut after the death of his father, where he initially made his living as an artisan and a farmer, but it was his skill as a surveyor that gave him for land speculation and economic advancement.
		Sherman thus came to the Philadelphia Convention in 1787 with as much experience in state and "national" government as any delegate, and more than most.
		Portions of this draft letter are found in Sherman's "A Citizen of New Haven," Connecticut Courant, 7 January (CCA21) and in an undated manuscript in Sherman's handwriting entitled "Observations on the New federal Constitution" (Mfm:Conn. 63).

		Essentially, Connecticut is saying that they insist on a certain quality of test, and Spellings's refusal to grant a waiver violates the federal statutory language.
		The Connecticut NAACP is intervening largely because its members distrust the state DOE (right attitude) but without a clear legal argument that they've articulated (poor tactics).
		And Andrew Rotherham is cheering the state NAACP for keeping the feet to the fire of the state (right attitude) without acknowledging that the state is trying to keep the quality of tests high, something Rotherham has written about and his colleague Thomas Toch wrote about in the Margins of Error report.

	81.ch.01: Connecticut in the Constitutional Convention
		Connecticut merchants yearned for reforms concerning commercial issues and the national debt, but many Connecticut people feared loss of control over their own affairs if the central government was strengthened.
		During the discussions, Sherman was able to clear the way for presidential selection when he suggested that, in the case of a candidate not receiving a majority of the electoral college, the House of Representatives (with each state having one vote) should make the final decision.
		Connecticut’s economic situation, moreover, favored a prohibition on export taxes, as the state engaged in an extensive exportation of agricultural produce and livestock to the West Indies.

		Sherman had much reason to dislike many people, but never, in reading this work, did I find a single instance of him trying to debunk the character of any man. Even Stanton, the man who falsely represented Sherman's actions, receives fair treatment at the general's hands.
		That Lincoln approved Shermans plan to march through the heart of the confedreacy at the disapproval of all his advisors shows his wisdom to Shermans argument that the south was a shell,and hollow inside.
		The genius of Sherman was his utter conviction in the goodness of men to destroy that which was evil,knowing that when his men saw not the soldiery of the south,but its hideous society,he needn't do more to motivate them.
