Who was the first U.S. President?

Keek, yeah... a lot of people aren't American. One might say most people aren't. And while American history is big here, man other places skim over it (because, contrary to popular belief, we aren't the center of the world, and actually compared to most countries we have very little history.

Amazing & very scary that so many college students can't answer this question correctly.

I got it right and im south african

Keek, We aren't all American

Eilidh, and I know so many americans that know nothing about the rest of the world outside of America.

Keek, not every player is American. consider other players who aren't American

missy189, Junior high school students should know this. I studied history in college and George Washington, was not discussed. We were expected to know basic history. If we did not, we would have been lost. I do realize a lot of players are from other countries. I am from America, but I have studied a great deal of British history. I find it a lot more interesting than our history.

Tannar33, I am pretty sure that you have a choice to pick your country from the beginning. I am going to double check.... any American should get that correct if they passed first grade.

Player #3327671, What history book did you read. Washington was not only the first President, but he was given the responsibility to decide what the American leader would be called. Several titles were suggested to him. He chose to be called President.

missy189, well I know and I’m English

that the country I am in now and it is correct

missy189, why?

This picture is made by 3 men and a woman

The Outlander movie helped too 😉

Near the town of High Wycombe is a village called West Wycombe that George Washington visited. The story there goes that he came over to pitch the idea that the British parliament should move to the "New World" the USA.....that would have been interesting!

Hokage's statue hahaha

washington dc pensylvania where the white house located its the capital of the city..

and of course by "American" you exclude millions of other Americans who don't live in the United States of America but who are nevertheless American.

Tannar33, true, others have 20 centuries to cover

E A S Y !!!!

Great Men are always afraid of taking leadership position because of responsibilities involved but fools nowadays fight and kill for it.

glad all those time i spent watching Hamilton was not for nothing

Yeah i got it but i'm a Filipino

Those stone faces in picture are just like the great stone faces of Hokages from Naruto

I'm not American and I got it right, it wasn't a hard question tbf🤷

I'm English, and got it right thanks to the educational and creative genius of Lin-Manuel Miranda!

i got this wrong,so it's obvious this is fake history and i'm deciding i'm right. i win.

amronjane63, mandarin people here 🙃

I got a right answer. Philippines

Player #11503902, not right. The title President is in the constitution which came before his election.

Steven, I’ve been googling for 30 minutes and can’t find any corroboration of this letter. All accounts are that he didn’t really want to be president and that there are only three surviving letters from George to Martha. I think he really wanted a nap...

Player #30455250, I’m American and don’t know if the Dutch even have a president 🤣

Player #7432266, I’ll take the “under” on that line.

Tannar33, yes you are really good and right

I am Malaysian and I am ten years old but I can answer it correctly....

amronjane63, Me too😄

i know it and i'm a filipino

amronjane63, Ok yeah so? 🤷‍♀️

Y"all George Washington doesn't have wooden dentures

Brina, John Hanson was neither the first person to serve as president or to be elected to the position under the Articles of Confederation. When the Articles went into full effect in March 1781, rather than elect a new president, Congress simply allowed Samuel Huntington of Connecticut to continue serving as president. On July 9, 1781, Congress elected Samuel Johnston of North Carolina as the first president after the ratification of the Articles. When Johnston declined to serve, Congress elected Thomas McKean of Delaware. However, McKean served for less than four months, resigning in October 1781. It was not until the next session of Congress convened in November 1781, that Hanson was elected as the first president to serve a full term as president. I have seen no evidence that he was a Black man.
