AnonymousAs far as I am concerned, the American revolutionaries were a bunch of traitors who rejected the rightful rule of King George the III and deserved nothing less than to be strung up like the dogs that they were.
If not for some historical accidents then that should have been their fate. As far as I can see the tax burden on the American colonies was not especially onerous (compared to today) but simply the result of well healed trouble makers not wishing to be bound by the traditional authority. Something similar is demonstrated in today’s society.
Now we had to witness the ridiculous situation of a group of slave owners proclaiming “All men are created equal”. Obviously that has created a lot of problems down the road.
Now I don’t have a problem with slavery, an institution that is practically as old as mankind but I do have an issue with the hypocrisy of slave owners claiming all men are equal. The results of which can be seen in the american civil war and the current problems with rampant blacks in the US and Australia today.
