Question

John Hanson or George Washington?

I personally think that John Hanson is the 1st president because he was actually the 1st to become a president, and has accomplished a lot of stuff O.O Though he did not live in a White House.

What do you think?

blehh. really weird explanation :X

President of United States&& John Hanson is not well known for his accomplishments......

Answer 1

President of what?

The first President of the United States of America is George W. At least according to every historybook I ever read.

Answer 2

There is actually a very valid argument that Samuel Huntington should be classified as the first president of the USA. I wrote a long essay on this a couple years ago after researching it.

I will see if I still have some articles bookmarked.

Here you go:
"The stories of the four Continental Congress Presidents and the ten Presidents of the United States serving before George Washington are inspiring narratives that are most appropriate to the events of the 21st Century. The account of the 1st US President, Samuel Huntington, is especially relevant as it focuses on an era when the United States Army and Congress met their greatest challenges in the Revolutionary War campaigns of 1780-1781."

Answer 3

John Hanson was the first president. There were 7 presidents before George Washington. They were all elected to serve one year terms. We do not hear much about the first 7 presidents before Washington because they were elected under the "Articles of Confederation" (before the Constitution).

In all fairness, some of the 7 first presidents under the "Articles of Confederation" did get more done in one year than today's presidents who serve for 8 years. However, the "Articles of Confederation" failed because the individual states had too much power and nothing could be agreed upon. In a lot of ways, the "Articles of Confederation" is very similar to the United Nations. If you want to imagine what the early United States was like politically before the Constitution, just look at the United Nations.

Answer 4

JOhn hanson is the first president...but of the continental congress.

We have a different system of government now and so George Washington is the first president of this one...so i think Geroge washington is the first president.

Answer 5

George Washington was the first President. I am not the President, and I live in a white house.

Answer 6

John Hanson, President of the first continental congress for one year.

Answer 7

Washington didn't live in the White House either.

Personally, I think Washington is the answer, but John Hanson is the answer for history dorks (myself included).

Answer 8

we would desire to consistently have 3 presidents. you won't be ready to have an excellent form of presidents reason there'll be no person there if the guy desires to react to something one way and the girl desires to do something distinctive. yet yeah, that appears like a good theory. that is risky having basically one guy or woman in value exceedingly in the event that they're on the dumb component...*cough cough* George Bush
