(FamilyConservationPAC.com) – All surviving previous presidents of the United States, except for former President Donald Trump, including President Joe Biden, are descended from slaveowners, according to a Reuters report.
According to researchers, former presidents Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama descended directly from slaveowners.
Obama is related to a slave owner through his white mother.
Since Trump's forebears immigrated to the country after slavery was outlawed, the investigation concluded that he was not a descendant of slaveowners.
Per Reuters:
"In researching the genealogies of America's political elite, a Reuters examination found that a fifth of the nation's congressmen, living presidents, Supreme Court justices, and governors are direct descendants of ancestors who enslaved Black people.
Among 536 members of the last sitting Congress, Reuters determined at least 100 descend from slaveholders. Of that group, more than a quarter of the Senate – 28 members – can trace their families to at least one slaveholder.
