Note to students and teachers. If you are a student: This is not the traditional recognition of history. It is, however, the accurate presentation of our United States Presidents. If you use information off this site, please put accreditation - for your own protection. Please add this website to your accredition so your teacher may confirm this information. It is for your protection as a student to do so. To teachers: The history of our United States Presidents have been distorted. This is an attempt to re-establish accuracy to our history. "Our steps are small. Our journey long. Maybe, someday we shall arrive." - unknown |
The United States is rich in history. Let us re-dedicate ourselves to learning our past, (good and bad) accurately. When we do, we will surely understand ourselves better. Enjoy the site. The biographies at this point are only thumb-nail descriptions. In the future we wish to go into much greater detail.
When we take a more accurate look at our
history, we begin to understand ourselves better. George Washington
was definitely not the first President of the United States, by far.
General Washington was not even the first President under the Constitution
of the United States of America. The only significance President
Washington holds, is that he is the first President elected after the
United States Constitution was in place. But again, he was not the
first president under the Constitution.
The numbering of the presidents has been corrupted through the years
(Please see second term of Grover Cleveland.) the bracketed []
numbers will re-instate from the very beginning proper numbering of
the the presidents. The bracketed numbers re-instates accuracy to the
numbering system. Example: Gover Cleveland's second term is not
sequential. Any President with back-to-back terms shall be considered
on this site as a single administration. The first president of the
United States will be labeled [1] and each succeed president will
have an additional number. Split administrations will be considered a
continuation of the previous administration.
An
important piece of historical inaccuracy is the American War between
the States. It was not a civil war.
Castro
in Cuba created a civil war. There was not an alternative government
duly appointed.
The
war that Abraham Lincoln fought was not a civil war. It was a war
between the States.
It
is similar to the Revolutionary War. A duly formed government worked
to separate from a parent government.
A
better example of civil war in the United States was the Whiskey
Rebellion in the late 1700s.

Grove Cleveland served a split administration as president of the United States. If we had, by tradition, counted each election as a separate presidency, Grover Cleveland would still not be the 24th president in his second term. The tradition of each administration being a single presidency is not changed by the fact that Benjamin Harrison had an administration between President Cleveland's two administrations. Therefore by the traditions setforth, the second Cleveland administration cannot be numbered as an additional administration it is the continuation of the first. The numbers in parentheses are the numbering for the presidents based upon this correction.
