What an interesting life he led. I am sorry he did not have children and grandchildren who could talk more about his personality and give us a glimpse of his thoughts and beliefs.

The point I was making is that we are naming these people in today’s article as “African-Americans” when they did not refer to themselves as that title/ misnomer! These people are Americans! Just like you can’t find any information that he was Indian, you also can’t find anywhere that he’s an African! Not all black people are of African origin is the point! My family roots are from the Americas and we have been miss classified as “Africans” when I talk about native roots I’m not talking about Native American from Asia I’m referring to copper colored American Indians that are black skinned people who’s origins come from the paleo Indian / ancient Mississippians from the south eastern states of America we are a different branch of the tree! Sorry to bother you! I was just making a valid point on his ancestry!
