@SPOOKY Phil, Ruler of Heck good luck trying to find my real identity.

@Little Boots Ironically he didn't sign it.

I just found that out myself. Never heard of George Mason and was wondering whether you'd confused him for James Madison.

So I searched him and found that he was one of three delegates who refused to sign the Constitution.

But he was the one laying down the framework and creating it, especially the Bill of Rights.

You know? The thing that paved the way for the end of slavery itself?

Oh I did find that he did the stuff you said he did, yes.

I just find it ironic that he ended up not signing the document he helped create the basis of.

This is what happens when you let Carpetbaghers take over your local politics.

@fvriovs it was mostly because it lacked a proper bill of rights, which he was a major proponent of adding in.

Clown World

Oh I see. So the Bill of Rights-

Ah yes I see it now. They were the amendments.

My apologies, I'm not an American citizen or national.

I know less than I probably ought to about the founding of the US and its subsequent years.

Yes, which was heavily influenced by him and his work with the Virginia Declaration of Rights.

He had a lot of children.

Twelve. Two by the same name so I presume one died.

not to be confused with the Vaginia Declaration of Rights

So, yeah, they want to rename a school named after him because “Muh slavery.”

Re-writing history because you find it unsavoury...

That’s what it all comes down to.

If more of our ancestors had done the same we'd have far less historical knowledge than we do now.

It’s because a bunch of Yankees have been moving into Richmond and turning it into a leftist cesspool.

You mean northern US citizens?

Yes.

Just clarifying. I'm British, so for me 'Yankees' means all Americans.

Damn Yankees.

fucking yankee doodle

Or just 'Yanks' for short.

I don't hear the term used much but it's in our cultural consciousness and we don't differentiate between the former Union and Confederate states.

I see why the Britbongs kicked out the Puritans.

They always like to ruin shit for everyone else.

The civil war means far more to American history than it does to anyone else.

For obvious reasons of course, it was your civil war.

But the symbolic and cultural ideas that emerged around and from it don't really permeate any other nation.

so does most thing tbh

For you, a Yankee is a northern US citizen. For us, it's every US citizen.
