Philip Livingston Jr. was a prominent merchant and a strong political leader from New York City. He was a delegate for New York to the Continental Congress and a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
On January 15th 1716, Philip was born into the wealthy and well-known Livingston family. He was the fourth of ten children born to Catharina Van Brugh and Philip Livingston. Young Livingston lived a comfortable childhood in his father’s brick townhouse in Albany on the tree-shaded and accordingly named, Elm Tree Corner.
Philip’s precociousness and the Livingston family’s wealth enabled him to attend Yale University. He enrolled in 1736 and graduated later that year, eager to begin his career. Soon after graduation, he settled in New York City and established a prosperous import business. Gradually, Philip earned a large fortune of his own.
The youthful merchant married Christina Ten Broeck, the daughter of Albany civic leader, Dirck Ten Broeck. Philip and Christina had nine children. The happy couple resided in Manhattan, occasionally visiting their vast farm in Brooklyn.
Livingston was a philanthropic young man, frequently donating money to various societies and causes. He helped found the New York Society Library, the Saint Andrew’s Society, the city’s Chamber of Commerce, and Columbia University. He, a Presbyterian, also promoted the concept of religious freedom.
Sometime after his fortieth birthday in 1754, Livingston had his first taste of politics as a member of the board of Aldermen, the local governing committee. He was a highly respected Alderman; thus, he was reelected each year for the following nine years. In addition, that year, Livingston also went as a delegate to the Albany Congress. The congress discussed ways to ameliorate the common plans for dealing with the French and Indian War.
In 1759, Livingston was elected onto New York’s House of Representatives. He held that important position for ten years. In opposition of the Stamp Act, Livingston attended the Stamp Act Congress. The Stamp Act Congress held the first formal protests against Britain. He later joined the Committee of Correspondence to maintain communication with leaders of other colonies.
Philip Livingston was chosen as one of New York’s delegates to the Continental Congress in 1775. He wholly supported the colonies’ separation from Great Britain. Livingston proudly signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776.
Livingston passed away on June 12, 1778, at age sixty-two. He collapsed at a congress session in York, Pennsylvania. He was the third signer of the Declaration to die, after only Button Gwinnett and John Morton.
Philip Livingston is considered a Founding Father of the United States of America. His leadership and contributions to our country have not since been forgotten. Livingston Avenue and Philip Livingston Magnet Academy have been named to honor this great man. The accomplishments and bravery of Philip Livingston should always be recognized as steps leading to where the United States is today.

I am a 7th grade and I'm having trouble deciding which topic I should choose for my persuasive essay in language arts. I narrowed it down to these 6:

*Gay Marriage/Military
*Adoption
*Animal Abuse
*Highschool Dropouts
*Media Exposure
*Rights of Children/Teen

Does anyone have any good reasons why I should or should not do one of these topics (all topics listed are accepted to be done in my class)

I'd like to know if everybody else feels like I did when I taught in Dickinson Texas. The kids weren't all bad, but the ones that were made things miserable for everyone. The administrators did nothing to help with discipline. I got tired of kids cussing at me and I was afraid of what they might do next. Please give an approximate location where you teach and a concise description of what it is like.
