You can blame or credit Ben Franklin (who knew nothing about electrons, protons, etc.) for the Yankee definition of current flow from positive to negative.

In his defence, Mr Franklin was making discoveries about a previously unknown force. One that had traditionally been attributed to the Divine. Chances of perceiving polarity were 50-50, especially at the end of a kite wire.
I worked in the Electrics shop on the early AV8A Harriers. Hawker-Siddeley and British Aerospace subcontracted with Lucas Electric for many system components. The Lucas Refrigeration gag was well known. As was the ''Prince of Darkness''. The aircraft had 2] 28 volt DC busbars w/ Negative ''Earth.''
