The Seven Black Presidents Before Barack Obama
December 1, 2008
Were There Black US Presidents before? The people thought that Barack Obama
is the first black President of the United States. Wrong.
1. John Hanson (a Moor) was actually the 1st President of the United States,
he served from 1781 1782 and he was black. The new country was actually
formed on March 1, 1781 with the adoption of The Articles of Confederation.
This document was actually proposed on June 11, 1776, but not agreed upon by
Congress until November 15, 1777. Maryland refused to sign this document
until Virginia and New York ceded their western lands (Maryland was afraid
that these states would gain too much power in the new government from such
large amounts of land).
Once the signing took place in 1781, a President was needed to run the
country. John Hanson was chosen unanimously by Congress (which included
George Washington). In fact, all the other potential candidates refused to
run against him, as he was a major player in the revolution and an extremely
influential member of Congress.
As President, Hanson ordered all foreign troops off American soil, as well
as removal of all foreign flags. He established the Great Seal of the United
States, which all Presidents since have been required to use on all Official
Documents. He declared that the 4th Thursday of every November to be
Thanksgiving Day, which is still true today. Even though elected, one
variable that was never thought through was that America was not going to
accept a Black President during the heart of the enslavement period. Enter
George Washington.
2. Thomas Jefferson was the 3rd President of the United States, he served
from 1801 1809 and he was black. His mother a half-breed Indian squaw and
his father a mulatto (half white and half black) from Virginia. He fathered
numerous children with Sally Hemmings, a mulatto slave with whom he lived
with in Europe.
3. Andrew Jackson was the 7th President of the United States. He served from
1829 1837 and he was black. His mother was a white woman from Ireland who
had Andrew Jackson with a black man. His fathers other children (Andrew
Jacksons stepbrother) was sold into slavery.
4. Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States, he served
from 1861 1865 and he was black. His mother was from an Ethiopian Tribe
and his father was an African American. It was told that his father was
Thomas Lincoln, a man to cover the truth, but he was sterile from childhood
mumps and was later castrated, making it impossible for him to have been his
father. Lincolns nickname Abraham Africa-nus the First.
5. Warren Harding was the 28th President of the United States, he served
from 1921 1923 and he was black. Harding never denied his ancestry. When
Republican leaders called on Harding to deny his Negro history, he said,
How should I know whether or not one of my ancestors might have jumped the
fence?
6. Calvin Coolidge was the 29th President of the United States, he served
from 1923 1929 and he was black. He proudly admitted that his mother was
dark but claimed it was because of a mixed Indian ancestry. His mothers
maiden name was Moor. In Europe the name Moor was given to all Black
people just as in America the name Negro was used.
7. Dwight E. Eisenhower was the 33rd President of the United States, he
served from 1953 1961 and he was black. His mother, Ida Elizabeth Stover
Eisenhower, an anti-war advocate, was half black.
So, America has survived and thrived through our first Seven Black
Presidents and we will survive and THRIVE through the election of this one!
