Daniel Bashiel Warner (April 19, 1815 – December 1, 1880) served as the 3rd President of Liberia from 1864 to 1868. Prior to this, he served as the 5th Vice President of Liberia under President Stephen Allen Benson from 1860 to 1864, and as the 3rd Secretary of State in the cabinet of Joseph Jenkins Roberts from 1854 to 1856. ==Background== Warner, an African-American, was born on Hookstown Road in Baltimore County, Maryland to a father who was a farmer and ex-slave who acquired his freedom one year before Warner was born.〔("Death Of A Liberian President,''New York Times'', March 13, 1881 )〕〔(Roll Of Emigrants That Have Been Sent To The Colony Of Liberia, Western Africa, By The American Colonization Society And Its Auxiliaries, To September 1843 )〕 Warner's date of birth is unclear. Some records show that he was born on April 19, 1815.〔 However, American Colonization Society documents list him as age nine when he emigrated to Liberia, with eight relatives, on the ship ''Oswego'' in 1823.〔 That would put his birth year as 1814. A member of the Americo-Liberian elite, he also served as a member of the Liberian House of Representatives〔Emma Jones Lapsansky Werner & Margaret Hope Bacon. (''Back To Africa'' )〕 and Liberian Senate.〔American Colonization Society, "Information About Going To Liberia With Things Which Every Emigrot Ought To Know", 1852〕 In 1877, he became an agent of the American Colonization Society.〔(Michele Mitchell, ''Righteous Propaganda'' )〕 He also wrote the lyrics to the Liberian national anthem, which the country officially adopted when it got independence from the American Colonization Society in 1847.〔Streissguth, Thomas.
