"[...] the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, [...]" -- George Washington (b. 1732-02-22^[*], d. 1799-12-14; President of the US 1789-1797), quoting & replying to Moses Seixas (b. 1744-03-28^[**], d. 1809-11-29), in an exchange of letters 1790-08-17 & 1790-08-18

[Yes, I'm aware that this is an aspirational, not accurately descriptive, view of the US. It seems an awfully important aspiration.]

[*] Recorded as 11 Feb. 1731-32 in the Julian calendar, which England and her colonies used at that time; retconned to the equivalent Gregorian date, 22 Feb. 1732, when the Gregorian calendar was adopted in 1752. See a calendar for September 1752 for the changeover (on a Unix/Linux computer, type "cal 9 1752"). Note that different countries adopted the Gregorian calendar in different years.

[**] Not sure whether this date is given in Julian or Gregorian form.
