@BillW,
Quote:This isn't a founding father thing where everyone is together and we are rebelling against a government thousands of miles away. When 1/2 the country rebels against the other 1/2 of the country - this is called Civil War; so I repeat, either **** or get off the pot!
Footnote until the English government had driven the colonies to rebel most of even the founding fathers consider themselves Englishmen as must as anyone living in London with the full rights of Englishmen.
The fact that London was a few thousands miles away mean as must to them as the fact that I am over a thousand miles from Washington DC.
Next everyone was together in rebelling against the English Crown in the colonies!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hate to tell you as it seems you had never read a history book in your life there was one hell of a lot of Tories IE supporters of the Crown in the colonies.
In fact in the south the main fighting was between the Crown supporters and the American rebels.
