Why it is said that electrons flow from negative terminal to positive terminal since if we know the electric charges only flow from high potential to low potential i.e from positive terminal to negative terminal ?

This is because When the Electricity was discovered, we didn't knew about protons. We knew only about electrons that is negative charge. So scientists of that time Concluded the direction of current from the negative terminal but when the protons were discovered then we came to know that the conclusion of that time wrong. It could create a cha-os all over the world , so by convention we say that the direction of the flow of current is from negative terminal to the positive terminal.
