Article about the Start of the Revolutionary War: Notice Something?

[Robert W]

So America was corrupted from the start by the sin of slavery.

Thanks for playing.

I was drafted. Slavery had not ended for we who got drafted into Kennedy's Army.

 

[Robert W]

No
Revolutionary War was fought by the Continental Army and later French forces

Which was no better than the army of Virginia who defended against the attack by Lincoln. Bear this fact. America has had 12 Slave owning presidents.

I guess.

Meaningless to the discussion, but interesting.

Yes, and we need to address that.

Lincoln also killed a hell of a lot of native tribes. Address that.

You would benefit by going over to Yorktown to see how the French helped Washington. It was their ships in the harbor that scared England into giving up.

No, it was founded on insurrection. The Revolutionaries decided they didn't want to be under British rule anymore, so they overthrew the British government and formed their own. You know, exactly what you're so mad the J6ers supposedly did, only successfully.

When you pretend to know history, recall you saying link?

First, this could go in the Media Forum, but this is also somewhat 2A related. I want to point out, whether intentional or not, the specific use of words that are used and not used when describing why the Brits were coming to America and what they were looking for.

IMO, this is a perfect example of the media, controlling narratives, and shying away from actually telling the whole truth.

Can you find what is "Missing" from the context of the article?

Yeah, the brits are engaging in early "common sense" gun conrol...remove the "gun nuts" weapons and ya remove the threat to your authority..."common sense".

I only do links when I'm trying to prove a point.

I have a degree in history, so I don't need to pretend.

Now, yes, Lincoln did take action against Native Americans who were dumb enough to align with the Confederacy. That's war, baby.

So perhaps you will know who in Europe made massive profits from the slave trade. We still do not know who did. It gets fuzzy for some reason. We have the elites in Europe today pushing for global government.

I'm sure it was the Trilateralists Bilderberger Lizard People you think are living under your bed when your meds aren't working!

You should not need to. But you pretend a woman at the Capitol was a dangerous horrible person. You learned from ME she actually hit the man who bashed the windows out and she was boosted up by 2 strong males. You believe the cop was too scared and shit his pants thinking he might have to actually arrest a woman. You do not know a damned thing about the Capitol building. And when will I read you smashing Democrats as the fathers of Slavery?

No, the French Navy just kept the Royal Navy from either resupplying Cornwallis or lifting his troops out. Cornwallis surrendered because he was in impossible tactical and strategic position, he couldn't be relieved or resupplied and was running short of food and munitions. Washington had Cornwallis trapped in a classic siege, something the British hadn't had to deal with in the colonies because they always had control of the sea.

Now they are engaging in "common sense" knife control. Guns weren't enough, now they are banning knives.

No means you do not agree. But then you confirmed my reply about the French Navy.

Rifles were not used by any military to any extent. The entire British had ONE small experimental unit of one hundred men armed with rifles. Its only battle was Brandywine where Major Patrick Ferguson, the inventor of the rifle was killed, and the unit was disbanded after the battle. The militaries didn't use rifles because European designs were very slow to load, and only specialized Jaeger (essentially snipers) used rifles because accuracy is more important to someone like that than rate of fire.

Actually I meant "muskets", not "rifles." Most long arms of that time were smooth bore, and by the late 1700's most every soldier in the world was carrying one.

Which is 75% of the stuff you post... illogical non-sense. Pot meet kettle.

rightwinger opposes Capital Punishment

So, you would have locked up the Founding Fathers up for the rest of their lives for treason?

Did they deserve that?
