A young U.S. Army Lieutenant, Phillip Nolan, the main protagonist in American writer Edward Everett Hale's fictional short story, "The Man Without a Country", was being tried for treason as an accomplice (due to his friendship) to Aaron Burr, also being tried for treason (1807 historically). During the trial, Nolan remarks bitterly to the presiding Judge, "Damn the United States! I wish I may never hear of the United States again!"
The Judge, during sentencing, grants Nolan his wish - he is exiled aboard United States Navy warships, with no right ever again to set foot on U.S. soil, and with explicit orders that no one shall ever mention his country to him again. The sentence is carried out to the letter - no sailor mentions the United States or speaks of it to him, papers and references are censored, and he is transferred from ship to ship until he finally dies.
