I’m just thinking that the Brits may not have cared for George too much! Although I guess “infamous” probably wouldn’t fit Washington anyway. That would probably be held for a really bad guy? I have a feeling that the Brits may have held him as an admiral foe. I recall the story of him sending one of his aides to return a lost dog that belonged to the English General.
He also declared that any American abusing an English prisoner would be punished, even up to the point of being put to death.
