3. Thomas Jefferson (1801-1809)

Thomas Jefferson, the principal author of the Declaration of Independence, became the third president after a heated election against Adams. Serving two terms, Jefferson is known for his pursuit of territorial expansion through the Louisiana Purchase, doubling the size of the United States. His advocacy for agrarianism, religious freedom, and public education still impact American society today.

4. James Madison (1809-1817)

James Madison, often referred to as the "Father of the Constitution," was born on March 16, 1751. As the fourth president, he played a significant role in drafting and promoting the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Madison's leadership during the War of 1812 showcased his ability to defend American independence, further solidifying his legacy as a key founder of the nation.

5. James Monroe (1817-1825)

James Monroe, the fifth president, was born on April 28, 1758. His presidency was known as the "Era of Good Feelings," characterized by political harmony and the absence of major conflicts. Monroe's most significant contribution was the Monroe Doctrine, which asserted U.S. opposition to European interference in the Americas and defined the country's role as a protector of independent nations in the Western Hemisphere.

6. John Quincy Adams (1825-1829)

The son of John Adams, John Quincy Adams became the sixth president, serving one term. Born on July 11, 1767, he was known for his intellect and extensive diplomatic experience. He negotiated various important treaties and served as a forceful advocate for the arts and sciences. Adams believed in American expansion into the western territories and played a critical role in the completion of the Erie Canal.

7. Andrew Jackson (1829-1837)

Andrew Jackson, a military hero, and the seventh president of the United States, was born on March 15, 1767. His presidency marked the era of Jacksonian democracy and a growing emphasis on individual liberty. Jackson's role in expanding the executive powers of the presidency and his controversial policies regarding Native Americans remain central topics of historical debate.

8. Martin Van Buren (1837-1841)

Martin Van Buren, the eighth president, was born on December 5, 1782. His presidency faced significant economic challenges, including the Panic of 1837, which led to a severe depression. Van Buren is often remembered for establishing the Democratic Party and his belief in the role of a limited government in economic affairs.

9. William Henry Harrison (1841)

William Henry Harrison, born on February 9, 1773, was the ninth president of the United States. Unfortunately, his presidency was one of the shortest in history, with Harrison succumbing to pneumonia just 32 days after his inauguration. Despite his brief tenure, Harrison's military career and his role in the Battle of Tippecanoe against Native American forces shaped his legacy.

The first nine presidents of the United States laid the foundation for the nation's development and established core principles that still guide American governance. From Washington's steadfast leadership to Harrison's unfortunate demise, each president left an indelible mark on the young country's history. Their contributions, achievements, and legacies continue to shape the United States even today, reminding us of the rich historical tapestry that defines this great nation.

Good morning class. The question on the chalkboard today is: Who was the first President of the United States of America?

Do you know the answer? If so, please raise your hand.

And just in case you are planning to answer “George Washington,” please put your hand down. Because you are going to be wrong.

George Washington was actually the 10th President of the United States. That makes Donald Trump the 54th President of the United States. Possibly even, the 53rd.

Suffice to say that most Americans accept Barak Obama’s presidency as legitimate. Those same Americans, even those who do not accept Obama as legit, are convinced that George Washington was our nation’s first President.

If I can prove that not to be so, then, and only then, you might actually consider the possibility of, and, begin to research the real subject of this book. The TRUTH, if you will, that was the reason why the LIE was told to you in the first place.

No, this is not a book about whether or not Barak Obama’s birth certificate was legitimate? Nor will it be about whether or not Donald Trump wears a hair piece? This book will ask questions far, far more serious.

Do we live in the United States of America? Or more specifically, is the United States of America that we live in today the SAME nation that declared its independence from the King of England on July 4, 1776? The same nation that won its independence on September 3, 1783?

OK, class, let me ask you another question: What country do you live in.

Do you know the answer? If so, please raise your hand.

Yes, you do live in the United States of America. That is the correct answer. But do you live in the same United States of America that was established by those that we call our nation's “founding fathers”? When was the United States of America in which you live established?

Is it the same nation given to us by our Founding Fathers? Or was there a CONSPIRACY that effectively KILLED the original United States of America? And that put in its place a new nation? One that may have the same name? And the same flag? And even the same capitol city? But which was NOT the same nation established by our ancestors?

Was our nation, in all actuality and reality, stolen from our great-great-great-great-great-great-etc. grandparents? Did they even realize that it happened?

Because if the United States of America in which we live is the SAME as the one that was birthed by the Founding Fathers in 1776, whose government was officially organized by the same in 1781, and whose independence from England was formally recognized in 1783; then George Washington was NOT the first President of the United States. Because in the years between 1781 and 1789, the United States of America; the same one that was birthed by the Founding Fathers in 1776, whose government was officially organized by the same in 1781, and whose independence from England was formally recognized in 1783; had duly elected NINE Presidents.

That’s right class. NINE men served as President of the United States BEFORE George Washington. All NINE having been duly and lawfully elected.

This book is dedicated to the lives and details of those NINE men, who, like George Washington, were all patriots!

First, we will examine the lives and service of our nation's first nine Presidents. Then, in the , we will go back to our original question and examine what may have been a possible conspiracy in the early developmental years of our nation's history.
