d.ho9w did he meet his death

After giving everything I had to give to America, France, and England, I died in New York City on June 8,18o9. I died virtually alone. Only seven people attended my funeral, three of these people used to be slaves. The Quakers refused to allow my burial in a Quaker cemetery, so I was buried on my farm. Ten years later a one time adversary turned admirer, William Cobbett, dug up my earthly remains and brought them to England, where they were later lost.

How interesting... I had no idea. Great information and good use of the quote. Make sure to quote properly and also to proofread your posts. Title should be a full word and not just a letter.
