William Hull Quotes

A collection of quotes by William Hull.

William Hull was a prominent American military officer and political figure during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Born on June 24, 1753, in Derby, Connecticut, he served as a soldier during the American Revolutionary War and later became a respected lawyer and politician in his home state. Hull's most notable role came during the War of 1812 when he was appointed as a brigadier general and later faced a controversial court-martial for his surrender of the city of Detroit to the British forces. Despite this setback, Hull's earlier contributions to the nation's independence and legal profession left a lasting impact.
