It's true my ancestors didn't care much about what the elites were doing, so long as they could sell their lumber and sail their ships, catch their fish. But they were all in for the Revolution. The Revolution may have been started by rich white guys who didn't want to pay taxes, but a lot of the "ordinary" people really wanted a say in the laws that affected their lives. They got it.The 4th was about poor people fighting to make sure the few white elite got to keep all the profits instead of paying tribute to england. This was disguised in package called the declaration of independence worded to make people believe things were going to be really different from that point on.
Were you educated in public schools? I think the reason some people get so bent out of shape when folks don't know the significance of July 4 is, it shows you must have slept through most of your elementary and high school educations. In America, it is the equivalent of not knowing that water is wet.No one said it was complicated. It is very basic. The question was why is it considered some travesty if you dont know about it? If I were a white person I would be ashamed my poor ancestors were fooled into fighting the revolutionary war for the rich whites.The 4th of July is not complicated, it's very basic.
Americans who do not know the basic facts regarding this date are ignorant and lousy Americans.
There is no excuse regardless of age.
Guess so. That was the War of 1812.The crown kidnapping men off the streets to be pressed into service on the British merchant ships had nothing to do with the revolution. Everyone wants to go yachting.
This is the result of finding history not worth learning.
No. It was the revolutionary war before it was the war of 1812. Not knowing our history is just sad. Sad.Guess so. That was the War of 1812.The crown kidnapping men off the streets to be pressed into service on the British merchant ships had nothing to do with the revolution. Everyone wants to go yachting.

Does he like you too?Who'd of thought that Mac would appreciate a passive aggressive douche like that guy?
You're right--it was mentioned in the Declaration of Independence as one of our grievances. However, it was legal on both sides of the pond, not "kidnapping." Yacht club history by Tipsy.No. It was the revolutionary war before it was the war of 1812. Not knowing our history is just sad. Sad.Guess so.

------------------------------ don't know about Warring Tribes but i do hear theories about it dissolving into different independent areas or sections full of like minded peope TCLover .America has no bright future. It will dissolve into warring tribes.
Thats why I say people were sold a con job. If you take a look at real history your ancestors were no better off than when they were under the king. Most couldnt even vote.It's true my ancestors didn't care much about what the elites were doing, so long as they could sell their lumber and sail their ships, catch their fish. But they were all in for the Revolution.

My formative years I was not educated in public schools. I spent my last 5 years in public schools though. I can see people being amazed that a person doesnt know what occurred but I dont get the cause for celebration. Even it was about freedom and all those other buzz words not everyone won freedom even if they fought on the american side. Its a bunch of hypocritical bullshit in my opinion.Were you educated in public schools?

Thats correct. It had nothing to do with the revolutionary war. That was the war of 1812 dummy.The crown kidnapping men off the streets to be pressed into service on the British merchant ships had nothing to do with the revolution. Everyone wants to go yachting.

That isn't true, A. We are better off than being at the whim of a mentally ill monarch half a world away dictating what will become of us.Thats why I say people were sold a con job.
