The answer is Harry Truman. His father's business went bad, and he couldn't afford college. And this was a kid who read Roman history in the original Latin.

Thanks for the kind words. Glad to hear you like my aticles.

Hi John,

I'm glad you linked to this article from your Humphrey article. I have a lot of respect for President Truman and enjoyed reading your article about him.

I'm really glad you enjoyed the link to the Truman article. I almost didn't include the link, but I thought it might be interesting for some readers. The intersection of Truman's and Humphreys careers at that point in time and on that issue is almost a passing of the torch in the leadership of the civil rights movement.

» ChristAR84 - Help, for information about "flaw in first elections"

Hi there,

Someone told me that with the "first elections" thus back somewhere in 1800 (?) there was one state which had written in its laws that "everyone above a certain age" could vote. Unexpected woman and Afro-Americans showed up...

Is this true?! And if so (or if not) is there someone out there who can tell me more about this?! (I.e. which state and where I can find more information!)

Thank you,

Christel
