The cat is out of the bag. The sixteenth President of the United States Abraham Lincoln was indeed half black according to scientists working for the Institute of Historical Science which has close ties to Harvard University. Abraham Lincoln got some “Boo” in him. According to his birth records dating back as far as 1809 his parents are listed as Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks. The truth that has been uncovered is Abraham Lincoln’s mother was having an affair with a slave named Iemis from a Kentucky plantation and his alleged father had his testicles cut off in childhood. Yes good old Abe’s mom jumped the fence! Scientists took a lock of President Lincoln’s hair and found DNA evidence reveals that he had a very strong genetic link to Africa. In fact his chromosome make up is directly linked to West African DNA patterns and reveals that his father was indeed Black according to Dr. Alan Holdsworth. In 2003, secret love letters were found that validated the affair. It is amazing how much is being revealed about our historical figures now that we search for the truth. There will be many who will begrudge President Lincoln for being half Black. However, they will have to give him credit for successfully leading this country through its greatest internal crisis, the Civil War, preserving the Union and ending slavery. Abraham Lincoln was one of the greatest U.S. Presidents.
