Individuality (or self-hood) is the state or quality of being an individual; particularly (in the case of humans) of being a person unique from other people and possessing one's own needs or goals, rights and responsibilities.

Michael Cresap
Captain Michael Cresap (April 17, 1742 – October 18, 1775) was a noted frontiersman born in Maryland, in what is now the United States. Biography Cresap was the son of the pioneer Colonel Thomas Cresap (17021790). He spent part of his adult years in the Ohio Country as a trader and land developer. He led several raids against Native Americans who were hostile to white settlement. In April, 1774 rumors spread that members of the Cherokee tribe had murdered several settlers along the frontier. Cresap, believing the rumors, was apparently involved in a reprisal raid, and he or some of his followers killed two or three Indians in the vicinity of Captina Creek, in present day Ohio. None of the Indians killed were in fact Cherokee. The war leader Logan ( 1723?1780), of the Mingo Native Americans, accused Cresap of murdering his family. Logan's wife and pregnant sister were among those murdered.Calloway, Colin G. The Indian World of George Washington: First Americans, the First Presi ...
