P.S. Who’s your top 3 founding fathers?

Mine are:

1. Thomas Jefferson.

2. Charles Carroll.

3. Georg Washington.

Even though he's not a founding father, John Paul Jones. Then Washington, then Jefferson.

I'm actually ambivalent towards them all. Most of the old Jacobites showed considerable interest in the early revolution but lost interest for obvious reasons. I recently read that there was a Prussian scheme that Hamilton may have had a hand in, to put the Prussian prince as king. Interesting idea.

I’ve heard of that scheme, it definitely was interesting.
