On one hand a tragic figure, military hero, and an example of the noble individual "taking on the Man", but also traitor, attempted murderer, and failed revolutionary. Movies like "V for Vendetta" glorify the image. I would be most curious to find out the thoughts of our Founding Fathers on this most English tradition.
