約翰‧漢考克出生，1737年1月12日

約翰‧漢考克不只是簽名好看，他也是個很會辦事，能夠把事情完成的人。他在1775年，任命我們未來的第一任總統，喬治華盛頓，為殖民地獨立國協聯軍的統帥。革命之後，漢考克成為麻塞諸塞州的統轄者，讓各州的自治權得到美國憲法的認可；他也積極的為這個新的國家訓練海軍。1793年他逝世，總共當了九任的麻州州長。下一次誰要再叫你簽名，你一定會想起約翰‧漢考克。


John Hancock had more than just a pretty signature. He was a man who knew how to get things done. He commissioned our future first president, George Washington, as commander in chief of the Army of the United Colonies in 1775. After the Revolution, Hancock, as governor of Massachusetts, led his state toward ratification of the U.S. Constitution. He was also active in creating a navy for the new nation. He died in 1793 while serving his ninth term as Massachusetts' governor. So the next time someone asks you for your autograph, think of John Hancock.
