- Asep Haryono | A Quick History Break And Fun Fact Of 4th Of July - Powered by Blogger
Let’s rewind a bit. On July 4, 1776, the 13 American colonies officially declared their independence from the British Empire by signing the Declaration of Independence, mostly written by Thomas Jefferson. The colonies were tired of being taxed and ruled by a king across the ocean King George III of England. They wanted to govern themselves and have a say in how things were run.
That’s how the United States of America was born. It wasn’t easy. There was a war, sacrifices, and plenty of struggles, but eventually, they won their freedom.
And guess who became the first U.S. President? None other than George Washington — the general who led American troops to victory during the Revolutionary War. He took office in 1789 and set the stage for every leader that came after him

Fun Fact: U.S. Presidents on the Money!
Did you know that some of these famous presidents are also featured on U.S. dollar bills? Yup — you see their faces every time someone spends cash in America! Let’s check out who’s on what:
• $1 bill – George Washington The very first U.S. president, and the “Father of His Country.”
• $2 bill – Thomas Jefferson The main writer of the Declaration of Independence.
• $5 bill – Abraham Lincoln Known for ending slavery and leading during the Civil War.
• $20 bill – Andrew Jackson The 7th president, known for representing the common people.
• $50 bill – Ulysses S. Grant A Civil War general and the 18th president.
• $100 bill – Not a president! It’s Benjamin Franklin He was a Founding Father but never president. Still, he was super important in science, diplomacy, and writing.
Note: Not all U.S. notes have presidents. Some bills and coins feature other historic figures like Alexander Hamilton (on the $10 bill), who was the first Secretary of the Treasury — but also not a president.
So next time you see American money, remember those aren’t just faces, they’re history in your hands!
