Horseshit. The American Revolution was a revolt by a bunch of scoundrels pissed off that their competitive advantage from smuggling and avoiding the very taxes they pretended to be protesting were eliminated or circumvented. It was a total shit show, Washington was a terrible commander. The war was not won by the Americans, it was lost by the British. I leave with two things. First, the Waxhaw massacre. Second,I guess it's understandable that today's historically impaired, generally anti-American left would confuse a symbolic demonstration with terrorism. The Brits weren't exactly terrorized by a bunch of Colonists dressed as Indians throwing teabags into the harbor but the act tended to unite the colonies against unjust British taxation.
Now, somebody, anybody, impress me, and tell me what those two things have in common. And I will give you a hint, the American Revolution was not won because of people like Washington or his aid de camp Hamilton. It was won by some mightily pissed off commoners.
