I don’t know hiw the US looked at this time. Most were agricultural workers with their own land right? Or did most live in large cities?
Landowners funded it, proletariat carried it out
Till the french started giving us guns/training/artillery/loans
Mostly farmers/sharecroppers. Yeah
I see. Seems pretty sane.
You could completely avoid all forms of politics/policy just by riding a wagon 40 or 50 miles away from the major cities
Which is why lots of englishmen/women moved to the US to escape the nonsense of Europe
Were there any people who were the ”leaders” of this, or was it just people banding together?
Ahhhh i understand
Banding together at first, till the continental army
When the colonies declared themselves impartial to british rule and cut ties with England
I see. So a large difference between this and the russians is that the landowners were on the workers side too
Did the americans have a large academic community at this time?
Ummm. I think so? Most of the founding fathers were well to do scholars/international businessmen/philosophers
Or ex military men
@MountainMan 90% of people would have been farm workers at that time tbh
probably similar in russia
Ahhhhh! Thank you @Tero
Ahhhhhh I see @Son of Rome
The founding fathers, they were working reallt hard during the revolution, or sid they come afterwards?
Well most of them bankrupted themselves funding America in it's newborn days
Define "working really hard". Lol
Working with
Oh yeah, for sure
So from what I understand, its pretty similar to russia right? The workers were the ones doing the work, the petty burgoise or landowners fynden them, and the academics led them?
Do hou think this can be seen in most nations?
Most nations
there weren't really any academics per se
^
as there were no american academy at the time
Just people with higher than a 2nd grade education <:kek:590371888480387073>
Thats about all it took
<:GWcorbinTopKek:384871333705678868>
but they were obviously well read on history, philosophy.. thinkers
I think the founding fathers could prob be classed as academics tbh
They were the thinners
Thinkers*
Certainly woke individuals
US house of representatives
very based
