Abraham Lincoln Was The 1st President To Recognize Haiti
I'm listening to CNN as I'm writing on forums today (Martin Luther King Day), and they just included in their coverage of the Earthquake In Haiti, a brief history of the island nation. CNN reported that the African slave revolution received its Independence from France in 1804, but wasn't recognized by the United States Government until 58 years later in 1862. I think I knew that, but I forgot that Abraham Lincoln was the 1st US President to recognize the Nation of Haiti.
