        He's English by blood, unless that no longer counts and it's about geography.

          It's not just about geography, more about the fact that he unambiguously considered himself American and urged others to do so.

            He's still of English descent though, like, 100% English and we know exactly where his England-born ancestors were originally from (Hertfordshire, in Essex btw). If we're talking about political citizenship, then more generally he was a British colonial citizen and not a citizen of the kingdom of England.

            I'm almost purely English (little bit of Irish) but I still consider myself Australian before I'm anglo. Washington was born to American parents in America, lived all his life in America and considered himself Amercian. GTFO.

    It's not fair that Englishmen get both Darwin and Newton, the founders of biology and physics.

    In 10,000 years where the glory of humanity is spread across the stars, children will still read about them and their ideas. Not fair.

        Yeah, into the trash for natural sciences besides maybe philosophical underpinnings, which were ignored (including by himself) until enlightenment thinkers

        Outside of his work on physics, Newton was a complete schizo moron that wasted years of his life on alchemy nonsense.

        Ethnically, but in every other way possible he was English. He was in fact eligible to run as PM. He spoke with a more English accent than a wienerney, he was Protestant and a most loyal British conservative, imperialist and war hero. If Wellington was an Englishman, so too was Mad Mike Hoare
