The recent revelation of Joe Biden's family history, specifically his great-great-grandfather's connection to a presidential pardon during the Civil War, has captured attention. According to The Washington Post, research uncovered the story of Biden's ancestor, Moses J. Robinette, who was involved in a physical altercation during his time as a civilian employee of the Union Army. Robinette allegedly injured a colleague with a pocketknife, leading to his conviction on several charges, though he was ultimately pardoned by President Abraham Lincoln after petitions from Army officers.
While Robinette's troubled past was not widely known, it now resurfaces thanks to his descendant's position as the 46th president of the United States. This revelation prompts reflection on Biden's perspective on pardons and invites scrutiny of his family's legacy.
