George Washington, the commander of the Continental Army
during the Revolutionary War, was unanimously elected the
first president of the United States by all 69 presidential
electors who cast their votes.

John Adams of Massachusetts, who received 34 votes, was
elected vice president. The electors, who represented 10 of
the 11 states that had ratified the U.S. Constitution, were
chosen by popular vote, legislative appointment, or a
combination of both four weeks before the election.

Wilson was the 28th president of the United States, serving from
1913 to 1921. He was the only Democrat to serve as president
during the Progressive Era when Republicans dominated the
presidency and legislative branches.

Wilson’s health declined markedly after leaving office in 1921. He
died on February 3, 1924, at the age of 67. 

President Wilson was interred in Washington National Cathedral,
being the only president whose final resting place lies within the
nation’s capital.
