John Hanson (died c. 1860) was an African American politician in Liberia. He served in Colonial Council and as a senator from Grand Bassa County following Liberia's independence in 1847. He was born into slavery, but he purchased his freedom and emigrated from Baltimore to Liberia at age thirty-six.

 In Liberia, he joined the growing mercantile class. He also served as Commissary in the same county for several years, furnishing a house for the storage of arms and ammunition. Hanson died in 1860, and was mourned as a "faithful and patriotic servant" by Liberian president Stephen Allen Benson.

Senator Hanson has sometimes been misidentified as being John Hanson of Maryland, a European politician who served as a President of the Continental Congress during the American Revolution.

Comitted genocide against a whole species of people by destroying their entire planet, and poisoned the planet for literally forever so no one can go there anymore without killing everyone and every planet they come in contact with via a deadly genetically engineered fungus/bacteria (I can't remember which)

Wiped out the only remaining plant species on a planet that had just been through a mass extinction event, and his fucking science officer profitted off books he wrote about the plant he helped wipe out. The planet was then colonized and turned into a fucking resort if I recall correctly.

Wiped out a whole fucking ecosystem and drove at least one (and definitely more, because lots of species live in fucking swamps) species of animal extinct on fucking purpose and reduced the ecosystem to literal fucking dust.
