George Edwin Taylor

Born in the pre-Civil War South to a mother who was free and a father who was enslaved, George Edwin Taylor would become the first African American selected by a political party to be its candidate for the presidency of the United States. To get where George Taylor wanted to be it was hard.  George had to face a lot, there no diaries or journals, no articles or publications; and the newspaper. Writers of black America mentioned him only from time to time, but always as an unknown who just happened to have run for president in 1904. George Edwin Taylor, His Historic Run for the White House, and the Making of Independent Black Politics which describes his efforts to history the life of the first African American to run for the Presidency of the United State.

Everyone thought that Barack Obama was the first black person running for president. In 1904 a guy named George Edwin Taylor had his eye on the white house and wanted to run for president and that what he did. Running for president is very hard for a lot of people but mostly colored people, George Edwin Taylor a son of an African American salve had that problem. George Taylor was a trouble child growing up and also an orphan and an independent man was running for president.

George Taylor wanted to show everyone that he was serious and that anyone can run for president, even though you are not acknowledge or accepted because of your race. In 1904 a black independent party called the national liberty nominated George Taylor to run for president on a third-party ticket. Even though George Taylor was a trouble child when he was younger and didn’t know much about the world but he was a good man wanted to make the world better.

George Taylor did an interview on why he decided to launch a presidential campaign, this is what he says ‘’yes I know white folks toke me as a joke but I want to tell you the colored do not give him credit for seeing. He’s beginning to take of his own interests and what’s more that he has the power to do it.’’ George also discovered that that neither the democratic nor the republic party represented the interests of people color, Theodore Roosevelt was re-elected as president still Taylor ran symbolized the growth of political that black Americans acquired following the reconstruction era.

Political Fact

The US constitution states a president "shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes or misdemeanours".

Andrew Johnson may have lacked a formal education, but he possessed an innate talent for debate and oratory. His political career began when he was elected alderman of Greeneville in 1829, and five years later he became the small town's mayor.

 In 1835 he joined the Tennessee state legislature, only to lose reelection two years later. He returned to state politics in 1839, moved to the state senate in 1841, and was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1843. Johnson’s humble beginnings and populist style endeared him to the working-class poor but put him at odds with the wealthy landowners who controlled state politics. 

The final article was championed by Thaddeus Stevens, accusing Johnson of declaring the 39th Congress unconstitutional, since it was a Congress of only part of the states, and therefore did not have legislative powers nor the power to propose constitutional amendments.

Education

If college is your next step after high school take a break and think about it before making a big step, not many people finish college. the reason why i am saying this is because some students drop out of college, college is much money and college is also not for everybody. 

I feel like now student who are in high school have time to do think about if they want to go to college or not. I'm not saying go to college or don't go it’s what you want but don't but money in to something that you cannot finish. 

In government research it says that one-third of student will graduate within 6 years, for example you could be in a class with 8 people and out of that 8 people only 3 will graduate within 6year. not many people would want to hear that they may not graduate.

The reason why some people drop out its because they are not motivated, don’t know why they are going to college.  The students out there who wants to college so bad and don’t know what to do think first before doing taking that big step. 

The reason why is because they don’t have any one to help them out with college, and yes some students don’t go to college or drop out is because it’s a lot of money and some people don’t have the money for school and will have to work. People who argue that college is worth it contend that college graduates have higher employment rates, bigger salaries, and more work benefits than high school.
