[Answer] Before George Washington, whose face appeared on the $1 bill?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Before George Washington, whose face appeared on the $1 bill?"



...In 1862, the Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase was in the unique position of designing the first one dollar bill. So who do you think he put on that bill? Himself, of course. It wasn't until 1869, that the one dollar bill portrait was changed to bear George Washington’s face. Although Chase may not be history's most familiar name, the former Senator who also served as Abraham Lincoln's Secretary of the Treasury and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court certainly made his mark on American politics. Chase's face also graces the obverse of the $10,000 bill.

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Who is credited with coining the political term “fascism”?"



...Italian dictator Benito Mussolini is widely credited with coining and popularizing the term “fascism.” The word comes from the Italian fascismo, derived from the Latin fasces—a bundle of rods tied around an axe blade that symbolized authority and unity in ancient Rome. Mussolini adopted the symbol and the term in the early 1920s to describe his authoritarian nationalist movement after he seized power in Italy in 1922. Fascism later became the label for similar ultranationalist, dictatorial regimes in Europe during the interwar period.

It remains the only U.S. state created directly as a result of the Civil War, formed from a divided Virginia.
