Bill Clinton And Sally Perdue

This beauty queen is also known for hosting a local radio talk show. According to her, she had an affair with Bill Clinton while he was serving as the governor of the state in 1983. It is fascinating to hear that she is one of three Miss Arkansas titleholders to be linked to him. She claimed that, in 1992, a democratic staffer asked her to keep mum on the affair. As a matter of fact, she explained, “They knew that I went jogging by myself and he couldn’t guarantee what would happen to my pretty little legs.”

George Washington And Venus

In 1784, a slave called Venus had a mixed-race child on the plantation owned by John Augustine, the half-brother of George Washington. She called the child Was Ford, and he received special treatment. Hannah, the wife of Augustine, said in her will that the child should be freed and receive training in a trade. According to his descendants, George Washington was the father of the freed slave. However, there is no proof aside from the oral history of the family. Historians do not support this theory because there was no indication that the first President of the United States ever went to the plantation.
