Apparently George Washington banned the celebration of Guy Fawkes Day which is why it is not celebrated in the United States.

Interesting.

it should also be noted that Fawkes was tortured for a number of days before making confessing that he was hired by catholic anti-monarchists. Fawkes was not know catholic, and most likely mad never met any of the people he said hired him.

If I were being tortured and demands of "WHO DO YOU WORK FOR?!" were made I, too, would say "the catholics".
