Don't forget Native Americans called Washington "Town Destroyer". And it was not only because he was destroying towns but also because he inherited this title from his great-grandpa who was also called Town Destroyer because he also destroyed towns. Generally, when i looks at the history of British-USA ruling class, destroying native towns was very popular among them.
Oh, and he liked that nickname.
