Who was the President of the USA during the Revolutionary war?
542732
The office of President of the United States did not exist until the ratification of the Constitution, which took place well after the war. Before that, there was the office of President of the United States in Congress Assembled, which is really quite a different office altogether. Several people served in that office during the war. See the site below for all the men serving between April 18, 1775 and September 3, 1783.

Under the current system, the US Constitution, the first president was George Washington. There was a government in place before that known as the Articles of Confederation. Under that system, the president was not the chief executive that he is today. Under the Articles of Confederation the president's full title was "President of the United States in Congress Assembled." The first person to hold that title was Samuel Huntington. Before that, we had the First Continental Congress, which did have a president as well. The first president of the First Contention Congress was Peyton Randolph. He was also the first president of the Second Contention Congress. The Continental Congress(es) were not intended to be permanent, they were a sort of revolutionary government. There is some confusion about all of this and some people argue that John Hanson was the first President of The United States. But I do not have the time to go into why that is so; He was the 3rd president under the Articles of Confederation.

John Hanson was the first "President of the Continental Congress" under the Articles of Confederation. But this is not the same as "President of the United States", which is what you want to know. The first person to hold that title was George Washington.

In 1758, there was no America. The British Colonies in America were fighting off the French and Indians in the Seven Years War. Today there is an election based on an electoral college. They choose who the President will be.

George Washington. He defined the Presidency and was the first (and so far only) military revolution leader to voluntarily limit his power to less than what he was offered.

trick question?  George Washington was born under British colonial rule....which made him the first president of the u.s. but not the first "American" president.  Martin Van Beuren was born in 1782 which would make him the first "American President"

The answer depends on how you define "President."\n\nGeorge Washington was the first President of the United States under the current US Constitution.  However, the constitution was not ratified until 1789.  \n\nPrior to the constitution, the US was run under The Articles of Confederation from 1781-1789.  The first president under the Articles of Confederation was Samuel Huntington.\n\nThe US won its independence in 1781.  However, independence was declared in 1776.  At the time, the US was run by the Continental Congress.  Its presiding officer was John Hancock.\n\nThe attached article gives a complete list of presidents prior to the constitution.

John Hanson was the REAL first president of the US.\nHe served in that office from November 5, 1781 until November 3, 1782. He was the first President to serve a full term after the full ratification of the Articles of Confederation. Six other presidents were elected after him - Elias Boudinot (1783), Thomas Mifflin (1784), Richard Henry Lee (1785), Nathan Gorman (1786), Arthur St. Clair (1787), and Cyrus Griffin (1788) - all prior to George Washington taking office.
