Dr. James McCune Smith

There is this interesting question lurking on the internet and discussed on most major platforms concerning probably the greatest chess mind of history – Paul Morphy, of absolute African Ancestry Chess.  Dr. JAMES MCCUNE SMITH, the first African American physician, had this to say, after watching Morphy play for over 4 hours, “And as we gazed at Morphy, with his fine, open countenance, brunette hue, the marvelous delicacy of fiber, bright, clear eyes, and elongated submaxillary bone, a keen suspicion entered our ethnological department that we were not the only Carthaginian in the room.”

Morphy's mother is from Saint-Domingue

The situation in Saint-Domingue renamed Haiti, was that slavery was the engine that kept the economy alive.  Saint-Dominque, as the French called their colony.  The population consists of: 

  • 40,000 Grand-blancs (literally “Great whites” in French) and Petit-blancs (“Little whites”) 
  • 28,000 Sang-melés (French for: “Mixed blood”) or free people of color. 
  • And 452,000 slaves. 

“In the decades leading up to the Haitian Revolution, whites faced increasing challenges to their economic and political supremacy from the growing class of free people of color.  As established slaveholders, planters, entrepreneurs, skilled labors, artisans, and military leaders, they had acquired considerable wealth and property in land and slaves.”
