Frederick North

"With Frederick North replacing the merely controversial King George III as the Redcoats' leader, he and Germain made a bet with their new army to have revenge on the American Revolutionary War."

--Su Ji-Hoon, The Third Shot Heard Round the World

Frederick North, 2nd Earl of Guilford, KG, PC, more often known by his courtesy title, Lord North, which he used from 1752 until 1790, is used to be the Prime Minister of Great Britain from 1770 to 1782. He led Great Britain through most of the American War of Independence. He also held a number of other cabinet posts, including Home Secretary and Chancellor of the Exchequer.

North's reputation among historians has swung back and forth. It reached its lowest point in the late nineteenth century when he was depicted as a creature of the king and an incompetent who lost the American colonies. In the early twentieth century a revisionism emphasized his strengths in administering the Treasury, handling the House of Commons, and in defending the Church of England. Herbert Butterfield, however, argued that his indolence was a barrier to efficient crisis management; he neglected his role in supervising the entire war effort.

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, he is one of the two Supreme Leaders of the Redcoat Union, along with George Germain. Also, he would do his best to make sure that the loss on the American Revolutionary War must be avenged, and hoping that the Siege of Yorktown could not be repeated itself.
