What did he mean when he is reported to have said I only regret that I have but no life to lose for my country?

Nathan Hale meant that if given the same opportunity, he would give his life over again for his country. He had no regrets in sacrificing his life for his country.

Explanation:

Nathan Hale born on June 6, 1755, and hanged on September 22, 1776 was an American spy who was sent forth by George Washington to obtain information about the British troop. He disguised as a Dutch teacher and went to the side of British Army to gather information. On his way back he was found to be a spy and was hanged by the British military leader.

He regretted having just one life to lose for his country, and this means that if given ten lives he would happily give them all up for his country. He had no regrets whatsoever.
