Frederick North, 2nd Earl of Guilford, Prime Minister of Great Britain, (1833). North (1732-1792) formed a government in 1770 but resigned on March 27 1782, after a vote of no confidence resulting from the British defeat at Yorktown in America the year before. He is supposed to have cried, Oh God! It's all over! It's all over!
