Now see, that seems logical, but how in the hell could we discern that for certain? I wish there was some type of hard number we could review and go off of instead of having to resort to multiple different contrasting figures.
It hurts...
I think we need to post about Mike Enoch since he will go down in history as the savior of the white race
Michael “Shark Eyes” Peinovich, God King of The Ethnostate, and Eternal Autarch of Awkwardly Holding Ranch Dressing
American revolution was completely unjustified t b q h
Britain almost bankrupted itself during the 7 years war getting the territory the colonists asked for
and when the tax rate in the colony goes up (still far lower than that in England) to pay off this debt they sperg out and declare independence
granted it all turned out great for the Americans in the end
(they hold world hegemony, foremost power etc)
but the entire revolution was unwarranted
imo
no
American revolution was to protect the liberties against the Westminster absoutism
And the American identity
Americans self-identified as Americans rather than British decades before the revolution
that's a bit of a generalisation, many colonists saw themselves as english transplanted to the Americas
sure some of them adopted a national identity when and after the revolution
happened
but a lot of them (for example the loyalists who moved to canada) considered themselves british first
sure
but that was after the revolution took place
this is the conflict of identity
talking about the initial reasons for it
no way than actions of warfare can solve it
it will happen sooner or later
Americans will never be willing to vote for some representatives in Westminster
none of those living in the colonies wanted direct rule, but they were willing to wait for devolved powers to be granted to them
the Canadians, Australians and kiwis got dominion status sometime in the 30s
they didn't use violence to try and take those powers
fair enough, the Americans did
i just don't think it was worth spilling the blood of their fellows over
at first it is quite mild
but all the time things suddenly got heated
like explosion
no one planned a revolution from the beginning
but in the end, it had to be like this
i'd agree with that
the countries under britain's control only remained there for so long as britain had the power to keep them
as soon as british power waned every colony was pushing for independence or more autonomy
