Or the fact that America was established because protestants weren't as free as they wanted to be

2020-03-04 22:09:32 UTC  

because again, suppression from religion

2020-03-04 22:09:34 UTC  

Not remotely accurate

2020-03-04 22:09:47 UTC  

But I don’t expect you don be versed in American history

2020-03-04 22:09:53 UTC  

LMFAO

2020-03-04 22:10:08 UTC  

So you're gonna deny the 80 year war not having a religious underground to it all

2020-03-04 22:10:14 UTC  

You're gonna deny the whole foundation of my country

2020-03-04 22:10:19 UTC  

and the reason America was all free and whatnot

2020-03-04 22:10:26 UTC  

Sophie

2020-03-04 22:10:28 UTC  

My fucking god

2020-03-04 22:10:38 UTC  

I’m denying religion as a primary driver of the 80 years war

2020-03-04 22:10:51 UTC  

And are you talking about the foundation of the colonies?

2020-03-04 22:10:59 UTC  

Or the American Revolution?

2020-03-04 22:11:04 UTC  

you can deny all you want

2020-03-04 22:11:07 UTC  

you can't rewrite history

2020-03-04 22:11:09 UTC  

Because there are hundreds of years between them

2020-03-04 22:11:20 UTC  

Ok, your blanket statements notwithstanding

2020-03-04 22:11:26 UTC  

Do you have an answer to the question?

2020-03-04 22:11:42 UTC  

if you’re going to be this rude you may want to be a bit more knowledgeable.

2020-03-04 22:12:19 UTC  

There's nothing rude pointing out history

2020-03-04 22:12:24 UTC  

Here try reading something

2020-03-04 22:12:27 UTC  

Count the wars based on religion

2020-03-04 22:12:29 UTC  

I'll be waiting

2020-03-04 22:12:36 UTC  

The 80 years war was primarily about credit and getting out from Spanish rule

2020-03-04 22:12:45 UTC  

yeah because of their religious suppression

2020-03-04 22:12:53 UTC  

...no

2020-03-04 22:12:55 UTC  

Yeah

2020-03-04 22:12:58 UTC  

Because the Dutch wanted self rule

2020-03-04 22:13:00 UTC  

We weren't a country

2020-03-04 22:13:08 UTC  

We wanted a country, BECAUSE of those conditions

2020-03-04 22:13:14 UTC  

The religious aspect was a convenient think to rally around

2020-03-04 22:13:24 UTC  

But even if the Netherlands had been entirely catholic

2020-03-04 22:13:58 UTC  

The Dutch would still be their own national identity, with a will to self govern, and better credit than the Spanish crown

2020-03-04 22:14:41 UTC  

Now do you have an answer to my question about the American Revolution? Because it was very much not about religious freedom.

2020-03-04 22:14:55 UTC  

In fact the belligerents were all the same religion

2020-03-04 22:15:07 UTC  

they fled from Britian for what reason?

2020-03-04 22:16:14 UTC  

Depends on the colony

2020-03-04 22:16:55 UTC  

Some of the pilgrims were puritans, for sure

2020-03-04 22:17:35 UTC  

But there’s over 250 years between them showing up in America and the war of independence

2020-03-04 22:18:06 UTC  

If you want to make that point it would actually better be made about the English civil war
