Right, Napoleon was the Opposite George Washington.
Washington could have crowned himself king and no one would have objected, and anyone who did would have been shouted down, but he didn't. And now he has reached Apotheoses.
Napoleon went the Caesar rout, Literally Crowned Himself Emperor, conquered a Whole Continent, A French Corps was bigger than anything George Washington ever commanded, has a whole Era of History Named after him.
Yet at the end of his Life he was Failure. Living in Exile in the middle of nowhere.
