     I think people who were taught something and later find out it wasn't true don't want to believe the truth so they live in that illusion that it still exists. Many rumors also help start to jump start illusions people believe in today.
     Illusions people still believe in today is the fact of who was actually the first president. If you go around asking random people who was the first president most or all of them will say George Washington but that is because we were taught that but never told that there were presidents before him. In fact George Washington was the 17th president but first due to the independence of the United States. We were never really told about before the independence of America where Congress ran the United States during the American Revolution.
     The first president of Congress was Peyton Randolph and there was also John Hancock who was the fourth and the thirteenth president of  Congress. Many people know about John Hancock since his signature does appear in the Declaration of Independence.
     Do people really know the truth or just lazy to go into depth on certain situations or just don't know the truth
