The people who started this country left the country they were born in.

Technically, that's not accurate, sir.

Washington was born in Westmoreland County, Virginia. Jefferson was born in Albemarle County, Virginia. Ben Franklin, born in Boston, MA.

Even Arnold, Benedict (major general) was born in Norwitch, Conneticut.

Hamilton was born in St. Nevis... but I don't think much of him. Sam Adams, born in Boston, had his number.

Thanks for playing. Please try again.

Guess they don’t have books for learning for $500 a month.

Just to be a little accurate, Norwich, Connecticut. I drive by his birthplace everyday. He could have been heralded as one of our patriots with his actions at Ft Ticonderoga and subsequent Siege of Boston. Sadly, he got greedy.

BTW, did you know Stephen F Austin went to school in Connecticut as well? Bacon Academy, Colchester Conn. I like to bring that up to my Texas cousins. They seem to get a little pissed about it.
