The First U.S. President was John Hanson?

Nope, it wasn’t George Washington. John Hanson of Maryland was chosen unanimously by Congress on November 5, 1781 as its first full term President. Apparently early American Federalists are responsible for the great American myth that George Washington was our first president.
