New York did that shortly after the "Boston massacre".

Are you 100% certain that the Cherokee used long rifles?

Wouldn't it be more likely that they used smoothbore trade guns?

And a good many of them remained loyal to the Crown.

Lord Dunmore among them.

He, you might or might not be aware, offered freedom to slaves held by Virginia rebels.

Reading Thomas Fleming’s fascinating article on “Celts in the American Revolution,” one is struck by the extent to which Scotland and the Scots informed and supported American independence.  From the ...

"British didn't care about the indigenous populations anywhere on the globe except to exploit them."

"If we are constrained to lift the hatchet against any tribe, we will never lay it down until that tribe is exterminated, or driven beyond the Mississippi."-Thomas Jefferson

"This is not your subject. Run along."

I beg to differ.

Are you ignorant of the views of your "founding fathers"?

About those religions...

One of the "grievances" that Jefferson cited against George III was the Quebec act protecting Catholics.

Colonials hated them.

"For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province"

They were whining about a law in Canada!

The revolution happened because rich colonials didn't want to pay their fair share of taxes.

Taxes that were incurred because George Washington caused a war.

Also colonials wanted land that belonged to the indigenous peoples that George III tried to protect with the Proclamation of 1763.

New York built a statue honoring George III months after the "Boston massacre".

"despicable tyrant"

George III was no tyrant. John Adams admitted that.

Henry Pelham's brutal depiction.

Revere copied another man's work.

"and threatened the progress of liberty"

Liberty for whom?

The indigenous population that slave owning land thieves like Washington forced from their homes...

Oliver Cromwell was far, far worse than Charles I.

"All tyrannical assholes. If you read the history"

Yes, read a book, John Adams admitted that George III was not a tyrant.

Respectfully, it was slaveowners like George Washington and James Madison that led the American Revolution and drafted the constitution.

Thousands of slaves fled from those self-proclaimed patriots to fight with the British.

Imagine a president sending almost 1,000 people to their deaths because he had land grants in the Northwest Territories.

His name was George Washington.

The last Highland Charge made was actually in North Carolina at the Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge.

Daniel Morgan used that strategy against Banastre Tarleton at the Cowpens in South Carolina.
January 29, 2026 at 12:42 AM
Your Majesty, I'm afraid that I have some bad news regarding that.
And yet colonials reneged on paying back war debt to France leading to the Quasi War with literally your "oldest ally".

"a long list of High Crimes of King George III"
January 28, 2026 at 6:09 PM
"EVERY CRIME of George III."

What "crimes" were George III convicted of?

Have you ever bothered to read the responses to the declaration of independence that were made by British lawyers and scholars of the period?

Do colonial schools not teach that part of the story?
January 28, 2026 at 6:07 PM
Do you not like hearing about the reality of those "patriots"?

George III issued the Proclamation of 1763 trying to protect the indigenous populations from people like Jefferson and Washington.
