"I think all the heretics I have known have been virtuous men. They have the virtue of fortitude or they would not venture to own their heresy; and they cannot afford to be deficient in any of the other virtues, as that would give advantage to their many enemies; and they have not like orthodox sinners, such a number of friends to excuse or justify them. Do not, however mistake me. It is not to my good friend's heresy that I impute his honesty. On the contrary, 'tis his honesty that has brought upon him the character of heretic."

"Judas sold only one man, Arnold three millions",

Benjamin Franklin of Benedict Arnold,
an American general who defected to the British Army during the War of Independence.
Demonized as a traitor in his home country,
he relocated to England after the war,
but
was viewed with mistrust even there.
Not only do they seem to contradict each other,
was there really already that many
"REAL AMERICANS",
THREE MILLIONS,
LIVING HERE,
by the time
of
AMERICA'S
War of Independence?
