DEar Jack,
You Said:
"He was, in fact, English, and though he
deplored the English policy towards the American Colonies, he was not
pleased at their loss."
You are absolutly correct! And I was mistaken about his status as a
founding father. He did say the quote, though I cannot find it at the

him credit for it.
thanks, I enjoy your posts.
