the 1st president of the united states was a black man why is this so hard to find out?

Question

and before any racist , haters or non believers try to disprove it do your research and then feel stupid

his name is John Hanson go look it up

Answer 1

I have just the moment googled John Hanson I saw a picture of him he looked rather white to me. Any way he was born in 1715 died in 1783 and there is a bit of controversy if he was the first president. George Washington was present at the signing to make John Hanson president in 1781. If i could do research on this this maybe Americans should do their homework. I am proudly not American.

Answer 2

You should know that first, there have been many presidents before washington and it really depends what institution you are talking about...
The following men served as the President of the First Continental Congress:

Peyton Randolph (September 5, 1774 – October 21, 1774) and
Henry Middleton (October 22, 1774 – October 26, 1774)
The following men served as the President of the Second Continental Congress:

Peyton Randolph (May 10, 1775 – May 23, 1775)
John Hancock (May 24, 1775 – October 31, 1777)
Henry Laurens (November 1, 1777 – December 9, 1778)
John Jay (December 10, 1778 – September 27, 1779)
Samuel Huntington (September 28, 1779 – March 1, 1781[1]
The following men served as President of the United States in Congress Assembled:

Samuel Huntington (March 1, 1781[2] – July 9, 1781)
Thomas McKean (July 10, 1781 – November 4, 1781)[3]
John Hanson (November 5, 1781 – November 3, 1782)
Elias Boudinot (November 4, 1782 – November 2, 1783)
Thomas Mifflin (November 3, 1783 – October 31, 1784)
Richard Henry Lee (November 30, 1784 – November 6, 1785)
John Hancock (November 23, 1785 – June 5, 1786)
Hancock was too ill to serve. The following two people acted as president in his absence:[1]


David Ramsay (November 23, 1785 – May 12, 1786)
Nathaniel Gorham (May 15, 1786 – June 5, 1786)
Nathaniel Gorham (June 6, 1786 – November 5, 1786)
Arthur St. Clair (February 2, 1787 – November 4, 1787)
Cyrus Griffin (January 22, 1788 – November 2, 1788)

many of them used the title "President of the United States" in a shortened form of their official titles and none of them were like the presidency under the counstitution...more like the Speaker of the House with a control of all branches of Government

oh...and by the way none of them were black either....

Answer 3

some historians think of we've already had one...James Buchanan, fifteenth President, and regrettably as a precedent for the gay community, extremely probably the worst president we've ever had. yet heck, if a candidate isn't undemanding yet no longer stupid on protection, has an answer for the the financial gadget, is familiar with what to do approximately unlawful immigration, can certainly and positively shrink waste and fraud interior the government, and has a great experience of ethics and private morality (which quite a few "promptly" presidents like Clinton and Kennedy have been a touch short on), he's have been given my vote, black or white, guy or woman, tall or short, and promptly or gay. and that i'm a promptly, rural, white western male who collectively as no longer extremely religious, happens to have self assurance in God, and has by no potential voted for a Democratic candidate for President (yet have not consistently voted Republican the two).

Answer 4

George Washington was the last white man with the name Washington.

By the way, stupid is someone making an unsubstantiated argument and with horrendous sentence structure.
I have proof that the first president was white. The Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution were written in perfect English.

Answer 5

Black list is not the same as black man.
Peyton Randolph
First to be called “Father of country”

Peyton Randolph was on the black list of patriots the British proposed to arrest and hang after he presided over the Continental Congress in 1775. Upon his return to Williamsburg, the volunteer company of militia of the city offered him its protection in an address that concluded:

"May heaven grant you long to live the father of your country –
and the friend to freedom and humanity!"

Answer 6

How about you share your research to disprove that George Washington was the first president? Are you sure your not confusing GW and GW Carver?

Answer 7

No No No,,,your the one is telling us this,,,therefore you need to show your research proof, not us. If you make a statement,, you should be able to back it up with your proof. I'm not a racist, I am an American History Teacher., So, I need to know more about this,,,please, please let us all know where you got this info and what facts bear it out to be true.

Answer 8

George Washington was black? He owned some black people but I don't think he was black. Can you cite a resource as I need to check out your claim.

Answer 9

Oh, really! I thought it was a space alien.
This was mentioned in the movie Men in Black, part II

Answer 10

I thought the first Black President was Bill Clinton!
