whilie in house, those were eight.

George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, Jonh tyler, James Polk, Zachary Taylor, Ulysses Grant.

Impossible. How could Grant have owned a slave while in office? The Civil War was over and the slaves had been freed long before he was president.
