Can anyone help me answering such a question? Do you know who governed the America (the current United States of America )from 1773-1789, the 13 years before George Washington became the first President of the United States? In China the farest point we can reach about the history of USA is merely the War of Independence. If you know that, please write out the name. I suppose that might be a governor of the United Kingdom. Thanks.
