I need to know how richard allen INFLUENCED OTHER PEOPLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He led colored people in a colored church. Superslum 11:08, 19 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
This article is beseiged by liars. No colored people who lived in North America prior to 1866 could cast a vote, which means that those negroes were not "Americans." There are certain articles in this web site at which liars consistently operate. They are "Liars' Lairs" (extraordinarily so, too). Liars are determined to brainwash the people of the world via the Internet. Superslum 04:32, 20 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
The most accurate and precise legal descriptive for the Reverend Allen is "Free Negro." Free Negroes were not citizens of any nation. Free Negroes were similar (legally similar) to Jews who lived in various European nations, but who could not participate in the government of the nation in which they lived. Many Free Negroes lived in North America, early on. Wikipedia disallows the use of the term Free Negro, however. The term Free Negro had been extremely common in the United States until recently.

Free Negroes did not own homes in Philadelphia, ergo, there was no such thing as a "black community" in Philadelphia. Free Negroes could not vote or participate in the affairs of the government, ergo, they were not "Americans" in any way. Slaves still toiled in Pennsylvania at that time. Slaveowners lived in Pennsylvania until the 1850s. People should stop their re-creating of the history of the United States. Superslum 22:13, 20 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Wikipedia has developed a portion with pages composed of peculiar statements which appear to be the work of 12 to 15-years-old children who have been informed by watching Sesame Street and The PBS Network for a couple of years, intermittently. The article on the Reverend Allen fits into that bullshit subsection. New International Encyclopedia says:
The succinct words are exactly those contained in the New International Encyclopedia. There are no other words relating to his owner, i.e., that his owner had a change of heart. His owner may have simply turned a profit by selling him his freedom. (The technique is known as "Buy low, sell high"). Now that I have expressed my great disdain for the bullshit subsection of Wikipedia, I shall forever keep my distance from Richard Allen (reverend). Who placed that stupid template and those idiotic categories onto his page? "Toodle-ooh." Superslum 10:59, 21 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Actually, African Americans could, and did, vote in PA until the state constitution was rewritten in 1838. The article isn't very substantive, but check Black suffrage in Pennsylvania. There was a major incident in Bucks County the year before in which the Democrats lost the county elections by a small margin and blamed it on black voters in Middletown Township. That helped energize the campaign to disenfranchise African Americans in the state. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:44:500:9954:5158:8FAC:58A3:D3CA (talk) 18:27, 5 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
The African Methodist Episcopal Church article indicates the AME Church was founded in 1793. This Wiki piece gives a date of 1816 as the founding date. The confusion needs to be addressed by someone more knowledgeable than I --Dumarest 12:59, 18 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
I reread fully the AME article, and see my confusion. The 1793 founding was the Bethel African Methodist Church, not the AME itself, which was 1816. --Dumarest 13:18, 18 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
I added the congregation in Attleborough (now Langhorne), Bucks County, PA, which was omitted from the list. The Society of Colored Methodists was founded in Attleborough in 1809 and sent delegates to the 1816 convention that founded the AME. This is noted in Daniel Alexander Payne's history of the AME and other sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:44:500:9954:5158:8FAC:58A3:D3CA (talk) 18:30, 5 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
