He was like, this super badass immigrant gay himbo in the American Revolution and a bunch of crappy places are named after him. Okay so Germany kicked him out for being gay, Ben Franklin sent him and his boyfriend here, He did a bunch of awesome stuff, gave us some Prussian drilling, made us have half a chance against the British, wrote the first ever drill manual for the U.S., yelled at us in German and French, oh and he had a spoiled ass doggo he loved named Azor. Picked up two more twinks, got this lil ol house, died there, the end. He was friends with, like, all the important people your teacher actually tells you about. He was only being paid half. So yeah, he slayed.
