Who was actually the first president of the US?
The first President of the Continental Congress was Peyton Randolph, who served from September to October of 1774. The first President of the Continental Congress upon the ratification of the Articles of Confederation was Samuel Huntington; he served from September of 1779 to July of 1781, the Articles of Confederation were ratified during his term (March 1st, 1781). He retired from office mid-term and Thomas McKean succeeded him until November 1781. The first president to serve a full 1-year term under the Articles of Confederation was John Hanson, from November 1781 to November 1782. It should be noted that under the Articles of Confederation, the President of Congress was elected from among the members of Congress, by the members of Congress. However, the title of "President of Congress" bears no resemblance to the position of "President of the United States of America" as it currently exists. George Washington was the first president under the Constitution of the United States of America and took his oath of office on April 30, 1789.
What did John Hanson do?
John Hanson (14 April [O.S. 3 April] 1715 - November 22, 1783) was a delegate to the United States in Congress Assembled from Maryland. Because he was the first President of Congress from Maryland to serve under a fully ratified Articles of Confederation (Maryland did not complete the process and sign until March 1, 1781), John Hanson has been called the First President of the United States in Congress Assembled. He did serve a full one-year term, November 5, 1781 to November 4, 1782, as President of the United States in Congress Assembled under the Articles of Confederation, but Samuel Huntington was the first President under the fully ratified Articles, serving March 1, 1781 to July 6, 1781 while Thomas McKean was the second, serving from July 10, 1781 to November 5, 1781.Hanson is one of the most enigmatic figures in US history. He is frequently mentioned in connection with the claim that he was the first President, but fewer facts are clear about his life and accomplishments than is the case with most of his contemporaries. One of the difficulties this caused was that several writers in the 19th century filled in the blanks with fiction. For various reasons, Hanson has been the subject of a large number of misconceptions or misrepresentations.
