The Revolution was not immoral.

Rebellion against one's lawful sovereign is always immoral.  Rebellion against one's lawful sovereign to create a brutal, expansionistic slaver state is even moreso.

Given the ordinance banning slavery from the Northwest territories you're branding the founding generation with a brush more suitable for Calhoun's.

Slavery was allowed to exist in the United States.  Moreover, the brutality and thirst for conquest of the early United States cannot be disputed.

By that definition Britain was a brutal, expressionistic slaver state as well. What's the difference?

Britain had law and morality on their side, which the rebels eschewed.  Moreover, Britain's expansionism was by and large a civilizing mission, and thus morally superior.

Unlike the British the US never actually murdered their own king and then ran a dictotorship based around councils.  The British are nothing more then Sea Russians.

The British didn't rebel against their king.  Legal and moral superiority is theirs.

Britain didn't commit genocide against the Indians, either.

If the British hadn't brutalized Jackson as a child he wouldn't have grown up so screwed up.

Nonsense.  Jackson was a rebel, and deserved to be hanged.

I'm just hoping the Volcano is quiet enough so they can open airport and Tonitrus can catch his flight tonight.

Stay out of my house.

History Channel is currently re-running their series about the American Revolution. I love the second episode which also mentions the discussion about blacks joining the Continentals and Washington's comments about keeping "those people" out of the affair.

Utilizing my elite begging skillz, I managed to change a sentence in my appraisal report from "he is a total slacker" to "he is just shy".  So proud of my accomplishments
