Look, I am going to educate you. Google is your friend. Use it. But know this, the only reason, the absolute only reason, that this country exists is because of the efforts of North Carolinians. "First in Freedom", it is on our license plate, google the Mecklenburg compact, the first real declaration of independence in the United States. Google, "battle of Kings Mountain", it was the turning point of the American Revolution and it was one of my ancestors that shot Fergunson off his damn horse. Alexander Hamilton was Washington's aid de camp. He was tasked with visiting North Carolina and determining how many soldiers the Continental Army could expect from North Carolina. His answer was ZERO. But then the butcher Tarleton came through, Andrew Jackson was a kid and witnessed the massacre at Waxhaw. Look up the 26th of North Carolina, a miltia that absolutely kicked British ass.
i have said it time and time again. I live on a Queens grant, you can google that too. But my family has lived in this valley for longer than this country has existed. We let you other yahoos hang around because most of the time you have to good sense to leave us the fawk alone. But you decide to fawk with us you are going to get more than you ever bargained for. You want a "revolution", then you bring your ass into the Blue Ridge mountains and meet your maker. That revolution will start, and it will end, here.
