 * There is language that feels as though it is emphasizing a point, such as "One point to note is the act created legal slavery of native Americans in California even though California was admitted to the union as a free state in 1850. Free as in the no black slavery allowed.", additionally it states "Looking at Peter Hardeman Burnetts' first Governors speech from January 6th, 1851 there is a section that explains a god-given right where his hatred and genocidal points of view for native Americans is quite clear." which does not feel neutral.
