Who Was The First President To Travel Abroad While In Office?

Did You Know!

A lesser-known fact about Delaware is that it was the first state to ratify the United States Constitution on December 7, 1787. This earned it the nickname "The First State." However, what's often overlooked is that Delaware's ratification was not a smooth process. Initially, the state's delegates were deadlocked on the issue, but it was ultimately resolved when one delegate, Thomas McKean, was persuaded to vote in favor of ratification, breaking the tie and securing Delaware's place in history as the first to ratify the Constitution.
