Cheers, mate. I believe also Oliver Cromwell refused to become King of England, choosing instead to become the Lord Protector.
That said, George Washington was a truly great man.
That he was; and I’m glad he refused the title of Monarch.
A pity that many schoolchildren today learn so little about our founding fathers (other than that they were white, that circumstances really weren’t “all that bad” in America prior to Revolution, and that many of them were slave owners).
