Yes, 1807. People break laws, but that doesn't mean laws aren't passed.
No reply to your post about America's first president being black?
The slave trade has not ended, as was suggested in the post replied to.
Sweden, was the only civilized nation in the 1700's that Black people were allowed an education.
New Sweden(colonial settlement), had many well educated Black People(were not slaves), who themselves owned slaves.
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 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.
Was the First President of the United States! 1781-1782 A.D.???
George Washington was really the 8th President ofthe United States!
George Washington was not the first President of the UnitedStates.
In fact, the first President of the United States was one John Hanson
.
Don't go checking the encyclopedia for this guy's name - he is one of those great men that are lost to history
.
If you're extremely lucky, you may actually find a brief mention of his name.
It has been stated before, but you seem to have skipped the post. the man in the picture is named John Hanson, but he is not the same one in the bio you posted.
As for the other people on your list, I dont see any evidence backing up those claims of mixed race parentage. Its not wise to quote facebook memes.
none of which has anything to do with the fact that the DOI did not mean independence and freedom from slavery.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
How is a slave owner able to pen these words in good conscience?
The answer is racism. Some men are not truly men. They are inferior beings that must be "protected". They must have their basic needs provided for. Of course in order to be able to do that they must be made to work.

1. John Hanson is well known in history. Route 50 in Maryland is even named the John Hanson Highway for his historical importance to the state and the eventual United States.
2. Thew Innis claims have been rebutted time after time, particularly the photograph which is not the same John Hanson, but is instead the Liberian Senator John Hanson from the 1800s who supported slaves relocating to Liberia. If you'd just stop and think...daguerreotype "photographs" began around 1839, while the John Hanson you are talking about died in 1783.
I think it's time for demagogues like this woman to stop trying to solve issues that arose 240 years ago. The focus needs to be on why her people have, in many cases, not succeeded. The focus needs to be on mothers who have 10 children. The focus needs to be on drug dealing and other petty crimes. Leaders like her need to serve as an example to their people, not spur hatred.
