Hanson, John (1715–1783)

US colonial and revolutionary official. He served in the Maryland Assembly almost continuously from 1757–1779. He signed the Association of the Freemen of Maryland (1775), which approved armed resistance against the British. Elected to the Continental Congress in 1779, Hanson signed the Articles of Confederation (1781), and then served as president of the Congress of the Confederacy (promptine some historians to refer to him as ‘the first president of the USA’). He worked to free the public lands to the west from the control of individual states, especially Virginia. Hanson was born in Charles County, Maryland.
