Well, I STILL think that the Eleventh, George Washington, was the best President of the United States of America.
While it is true that the office of the President of the United States took on a radically different meaning under the new Constitution in 1787, the Nation did de facto exist, as evidenced, for example, by Treaties which the United States, as a Sovereign nation, negotiated with other sovereign nations during the time period between 1776-1787.
Under the Articles of Confederation, even thought they were insufficient and eventually replaced, there was an office of President, and, if I'm not mistaken, it was actually John Hanson who developed the Seal of the President of the United States which is used to this day.
Wikipedia is written by normal people not necessary scholars or teachers. Either way Wikipedia has been wrong alot! Like now...
I am sorry Charles but he was not Sweden either. A lot of black history was changed and a lot of people got credit for stuff they did not do.
John was a black man who was Moorish. They have pic of him in the Moorish history books.
It just proved that blacks were here before the slaves were transported.
All we here about is the Spanish and the Indians.
He was unanimously decision made by all white congress...so he must not have been a slave

REALLY! No he was not white - John Hancock was white John Hanson fist President was black!
I want to see a picture from 1783.
Cut and paste link below...
Also he is on the back of the two dollar bill.
I think you mean1873.
Didn’t that show up in the movie “True Romance”?
I’m sorry that you’re a deluded moron that doesn’t do any research but he was a Swedish man.
Blacks were also not aloud to hold public office at that time.
He also did not sign the Declaration of Independence so there’s no way he’s on the 2$ bill. Considering that the two dollar bill depicts Thomas Jefferson on the front and the signing of the Declaration of Independence on the back.
The man you see on the back is Thomas Mckean whom was a white lawyer.
This so called “Moorish history book” doesn’t exist. That photo you posted is of Liberian senator John Hanson whom was born in 1860. That would be 77 years after John Hanson’s death in 1783.
Photography didn’t even exist until 1839.
John Hanson myths debunked:
Anybody that still believes this ridiculous conspiracy that was invented by Dick Gregory is an idiot. Do your research before you post such a ridiculous comment.
You mean that ridiculous photo of a Liberian senator known as John Hanson? You fools still try to claim that’s the Swedish John Hanson from the 18th century?
John Hanson died in 1783. Photography did not exist until 1839. John Hanson also did not sign the Declaration of Independence so he’s not on the two dollar bill.
You revisionist crack me up.
