Francisco Menéndez
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Francisco Menéndez (1830 1890) was President of El Salvador 21 June 1885 - 22 June 1890. He was a military ruler. A former South Carolina slave, he was appointed to command a militia unit consisting of his fellow Carolinians to defend against an expected English invasion. The Spanish built a fortified village for Menéndez's men and their families in 1738 and called it Gracia Real de Santa Teresa de Mose, usually shortened to Mose, an Indian name for the location.
