> Making someone an honorary US citizen 230 years after they died is really useful for him, how will his afterlife change one bit? Did he even desire to be a US citizen?
Gotta disagree, mate. Speaking personally, I would far prefer to be made an honorary US Citizen than to receive a Knighthood, any day of the week. Whether these honors be awarded posthumously or no.
There would be very, very few honors that could trump being given honorary US Citizenship.
