Actually, the most recent POTUS to own slaves at some point of his life (of course long before Presidency) was Ulysses S. Grant

Ok, another hint:

The Pope was Pius IX, so this president was alive between 1846 and 1878.

Grant?

Absolutely right!!!  Now, for bonus points, after he was TR's veep, he ran for Vice President again on the Republican ticket with which Presidential candidate?  (All the better if you can give both the candidate and the year!)

The 1916 Republican Party ticket of Charles Evans Hughes of New York and Charles Fairbanks of Indiana.

Who was the first black president of the United States of America?
Hahaha, just kidding!  You didn't think it would be that easy did you?

Okay here's one:
Who was the first person of Jewish ancestry to run for President of the United States?

On major party ticket? I guess Barry Goldwater.

From all tickets? No clue.

Who was Ted Kennedy's principle primary opponent in that race.

I'm just guessing off the top of my head, but former Governor Endicott Peabody?

Speaker McCormack's son, whose first name escapes me at the moment. Joseph I believe.

Wikipedia says Edward.

He was McCormack's nephew, not son and, I believe, served as MA Attorney General.

My turn.

The last former slaveholder to become President? (as opposed to the last one, who owned slaves while in office)

Since T-Fed won't ask a new question:

Who was the last president to own slaves while in office?

Zachary Taylor.
