I thought Clinton was?
Got a link?
I don’t know. “Golden Delicious” sounds perfect for a James Bond film!
One of my grandfathers that came over from Norway was olive-skinned, dark eyes, jet black. My dad figured it was some Mediterranian blood that got mixed in during a Viking raid to those parts.
Until he visited way up north to Lapland. And all of the Sammi (sp?) looked like they could have been uncles.
Although the statue of Hanson doesn’t appear to have a hint of Black or Sammi.
The president under the Articles was clearly the presiding officer of Congress and not the executive officer of the United States.
Ironically New Sweden encompassed part of New Jersey and Philly where many of the latter day Rambo types (Yo, Stallone!) currently inhabit.

Mammy— Mammy, I’m comin’—
I’m so sorry that I made you wait!
Mammy— Mammy, I’m comin’!
Oh God, I hope I’m not late!
Look at me, Mammy! Don’t you know me?
I’m your little baby!
(SUNG) I’d walk a million miles
For one of your smiles,
My Mammy
Clinton forgot to apply the black face before playing the part.
My girlfriend is from England and they were taught in grade school about John Hanson. It is part of their history. The picture they have of him is a black man of Moorish descent. The statue has the nose wrong. Just like the original Statue of Liberty. It was sent back & the the face was redone.
Presidents of the United States
In Congress Assembled
Samuel Huntington
1st President of the United States
in Congress Assembled
March 1, 1781 to July 6, 1781
By May of 1781, President Huntington’s health began to fail. Huntington, despite the pleadings of the delegates tendered his resignation as President on July 6, 1781. The United States in Congress Assembled Journals reported:
“The President having informed the United States in Congress assembled, that his ill state of health” ... not permit him to continue longer in the exercise of the duties of that office”.
Thomas McKean
2nd President of the United States
in Congress Assembled
July 10, 1781 to November 5, 1781
Congress held off electing a new President until July 10th in the hope that Huntington would recover and reconsider. On July 10th Delegate Thomas McKean was elected as the second President of the United States in Congress Assembled and was first to be elected under the Articles of Confederation as President Huntington assumed the position as the former President of the Continental Congress.
McKean was president of congress in 1781, and in that capacity received Washington’s dispatches announcing the surrender of Cornwallis.
So revered was this office by Thomas McKean (Signer of the Declaration of Independence) that the Presidency was used to turn down his party’s 1804 nomination for Vice President under Thomas Jefferson saying:
“... President of the United States in Congress Assembled in the year of 1781 (a proud year for Americans) equaled any merit or pretensions of mine and cannot now be increased by the office of Vice President.”
John Hanson (1st. President to serve a full one year term)
3rd President of the United States
in Congress Assembled
November 5, 1781 to November 4, 1782
this is correct , there were 7 presidents under the articles ofconfederation , Hanson was the third of these presidents
