Shhhh.... A little secret? Most presidents owned slaves or had money tied to slavery before it was outlawed

@lakergoy right and 2 thirds of the signers of the deceleration of independence were slave owners.

@lakergoy looked it up Lincoln and Johnson in 1864 were the first pair to run together rather than being elected separately
