I am 'half listening' to Pawn Stars on one of the discovery channels. My husband is watching it whilst I an blogging.
As you probably know, this is an American 'antique' type of tv show.
This particular episode, has had a man go into the store with a money note - I am not sure of the denomination (I was not paying it too much attention to it).
What caught my attention, was the owner of the store, when he mentioned the fact that George Washington, was not, the 'first' President!
He went on to explain that before Washington, you had 'Presidents' which were in office for one year at a time!
I really never knew that!
Seriously though, I would love to know how America was, governed before G. Washington? I can remember so little of that time period in your history from school - I remember the lessons, but I think they were more orientated toward 'British reactions' (very biased teaching, if you ask me). Hhhmm, I think I will find out more if I can - if you find out anything, let me know pleeeze
