Another of Obama’s ancestors, his great-great-great-grandfather, Christopher Columbus Clark, fought for the Union army in the Civil War. As a result Obama can also lay claim to relatives who risked their lives to end slavery.

Given the tribe of Obama's Mooselimb Kenyan father, it is likely he had ancestors on both ends of the slave-trading supply chain.

Like my husband always says, when you think of slaves think of who sold them in the first place.
