THE SEVEN BLACK PRESIDENTS BEFORE BARACK OBAMA



A portrait of John Hanson by John Hesselius, late 1760s.

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 4the 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 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 father's other children (Andrew Jackson's 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. Lincoln 's 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 mother's 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.


8. Barack Obama

So, America has survived and thrived through our first Seven Black Presidents and we will survive and THRIVE through the election of this one!

My Comment:

John Hanson is mostly considered of Swedish ancestry in most books. George Grant, in his book "The Patriot's Handbook" indicated that he, being the first president, was forgotten because the Articles of Confederation did not work well in bring together the states. The presidents under the new Constitution of today are mostly acknowledged. In the book "Where is our land?" he is written as a Moor. In another book "Black People and their Place in World History" by Leroy Vaughn, as a leading authority of black history, has much discourse concerning these presidents (p.140-143). He confirms their mixed heritage.
