That's where I learned he was a self-righteous pompous prick who was probably shunned by his peers and never invited to the good parties. Kicked out of his own family when he was a young self-righteous pompous prick and never reconciled, he undertook the weeks-long journey from Boston to Philadelphia (including a shipwreck and washing up on the islands off the shore of Brooklyn, New York) he eventually ended up bonking his landlord's daughter and had to flee to live in the UK for a while (remember, he was British not American, just like all the other white men in the 13 colonies at the time) . Also, he was a proselytizing vegan teetotaller.
I also learned a lot of interesting history they don't teach in school, like how he was involved with an effort to form an alliance between the English colonies and the Iroquois Confederacy for the defense of North America but the collective colonial governments rejected the alliance and favoured bringing in overseas troops to conquer the Iroquois instead. He was a really smart guy as well as a self-righteous pompous prick, and he would certainly not have fit into today's USA what with his "radical left" "socialist" "woke" views. Not sure he fit into his contemporary society either because of those views.
