HENRY CLINTON

America's archnemesis in the Revolutionary War was a Clinton. I thought you should all know that. Everybody remembers Cornwallis, but Cornwallis answered to General Clinton.

>He is best known for his service as a general during the American War of Independence. First arriving in Boston in May 1775, from 1778 to 1782 he was the British Commander-in-Chief in North America.
