(CTN News) – He is the only living president Donald Trump in the history of the United States of America who did not come from a family that was involved in the owning of slaves.
Donald Trump is the only president who has not come from a family that was involved in the ownership of slaves. With the exception of Donald Trump, every single president of the United States who is still living today comes from a family tree that contains ancestors who have held slaves at some point in their lives.
This is the case for every single president who is from the United States. According to the conclusions of a study that was conducted by Reuters, which investigated the ancestral backlog of a number of senators and presidents of the United States of America, this is the situation.
During the course of the investigation, it was discovered that in addition to the presidents, a number of MPs, eleven governors, one hundred members of the United States Congress, and even two judges on the Supreme Court who are still living had ancestors who were slaveholders.
Democrats and Republicans are members of Donald Trump’s parties.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senator Lindsey Graham, both of whom are members of the Republican Party, as well as Senators Elizabeth Warren and Tammy Duckworth, both of whom are members of the Democratic Party, are among the persons who fall into this category.
There is a relationship between Barack Obama, the first African-American to hold the office of President of the United States, and a slave owner. This connection is made possible by the fact that his mother was white.
Reuters reports that the following individuals are among the African-American ancestors of the current presidents of the United States of America:
According to Joe Biden’s family tree, which goes back five generations, at least one of his direct ancestors was the owner of a single slave. Barack Obama has a direct ancestor who owned two slaves. This individual was a slave owner. Six generations have passed since this ancestor was born.
Twenty-five slaves were owned by one of George Bush’s direct ancestors, who lived six generations ago. This individual was involved in the slave trade.
During the time of Bill Clinton, a single direct ancestor, extending back five generations, was the owner of a solitary slave.
Jimmy Carter had a direct ancestor who was responsible for the ownership of 54 slaves. Four generations have passed since this ancestor was born.
Donald Trump, however, stands out from the rest of the field.
Contrary to the majority of former presidents who have deep roots in the American culture, Donald Trump’s ancestors did not arrive in the United States until after the abolition of slavery in 1865. This is a key difference between Donald Trump and the majority of former presidents.
Without a doubt, not a single one of his grandparents was indeed born in the United States of America. Following their migration to the United States in the early 1900s, his paternal ancestors initially originated from the little town of Kallstadt, which is situated in the southwestern part of Germany.
The fact that his mother, Mary, was born in Scotland is still another fascinating feature of his life.
Despite the fact that his genealogy is relatively less than a century old, Donald Trump has continuously supported symbols that are associated with the Confederacy.
Despite the fact that the Department of Defence was open to the concept of making such changes, he was opposed to efforts to rename military bases that were named for Confederate generals during his administration. He was antagonistic to these initiatives.
Donald Trump is the candidate that the Republican Party has chosen to represent them in the upcoming presidential elections in the United States.
Because the Democratic candidate, Joe Biden, withdrew his candidature from the contest owing to his health condition, there is a significant likelihood that Trump will be competing against Kamala Harris as his opponent. This is because Biden withdrew his candidature from the campaign.
