A lot has been said about George Washington — America’s first president — over the years, but how much of it is fact and how much is fiction?
Current Events
For example, did you know that Washington never had wooden teeth? He actually wore false teeth that were stolen from slaves and forged from sculpted chunks of ivory from elephants, hippos and walruses. Also, the story of chopping down a cherry tree was fictional. Additionally, the thought of him with a white, powdered wig is also false. GW didn’t wear a wig at all. In fact, he was a red-headed ginger.

Don’t forget he also owned slaves as well. People conveniently leave that part of his story out. But then again, they all owned slaves back then.
