His name was Wentworth Cheswell
He was a member of the “Committee of Safety” organized by Samuel Adams. On the night of the famous ride with fellow patriot Paul Revere, Cheswell took the northern route to New Hampshire to warn the American patriots. Because of his ride, thousands of Minutemen and volunteers arrived in Boston to assist with keeping the British army and navy bottlenecked and trapped.
He also accomplished the following:
- Became New Hampshire’s first archaeologist
- First African-American elected to public office in the United States
- He was an American Revolutionary War veteran
- He received an extensive education, studying Latin and Greek
- He was also a school teacher
- He was elected town selectman
- He held the office of Auditor
- He held the office of Assessor
- He was also the town Coroner for a time
- And he was the Justice of the peace for a time

His-story that is taught in school does not give the truth justice.

I had not even heard of Paul Revere. So, I looked him up. Interesting.

I’m not surprised you don’t know. He is taught in American history (and only for a short time).
We are taught only a limited amount in school, and even that is sometimes in error. My question, is it in error, on purpose? hmmm

Sometimes error, though some are most probably on purpose.

Agreed! We know the one for the Statue of Liberty was on purpose.

Many people believe that the Democratic Party is for the blacks when quite the opposite is true. Another history error.

My response — I would imagine that neither parties are for any race. They are most likely for monetary gain.

My response — I stopped believing in political parties a long time ago. The illusion is to flimsy to take seriously. They just play games with the public to keep them divided. There is only one party and then there are the servants (the voters)

The census have him as a white man and he was 3/4 European and one fourth black. Can you believe that? The Emancipation Proclamation was voted down by every single Democrat.

My response — Seems believable since color only has value to the visible eye and not genetics.
The labeling of race has always been a visible perception process so this makes sense. As people obtain more technology they may base racism on something more granular like DNA and seek pure coded people. This of course will lead to a weaker version of human beings much like in the day of royal inbreeding.
Nothing new under the sun.
