Lord North
Frederick North, 2nd Earl of Guilford, served as British Prime Minister from 1770 to 1782 and was the principal architect of the coercive colonial policy that drove the American Revolution. He championed the Tea Act, the Intolerable Acts, and continued the war long after its strategic futility was apparent, largely out of loyalty to George III. After Yorktown he resigned, reportedly with relief, and later admitted that the American policy had been a catastrophic error.
