Man was a legit noble, fled from Europe, embraced revolutionary US ideals, offered a portion of his estate to his nephew on the condition that he give up being a noble and embrace equality, argued forcefully against plutocratic oligarchy in the burgeoning US, got a nice rural New York estate with his gay polycule, and died peacefully and well-respected by his adopted nation. Also, had pantless parties with the American officers during the Revolutionary War. Livin’ the American dream.
I love Von Steuben
