[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, you all took a different message than I did. I never quite realized just how awful Washington was to the Natives, personally and in his own hand ordering the genocide of tribes on the western frontier. Or how terrible the Colonists were to each other. The Quakers - noted pacifists - were run straight out of their homes in a city that was literally built for them.

How when the South changed hands the Loyalists and the Patriots took turns wreaking vengeance on each other.

The rapes and pillaging.

How the English actually kept their end of the bargain and did what they could to deliver runaway slaves who served the king off to safety in Canada, despite the Patriots demanding their property back.

How the Patriots barely paid the poor and property-less who fought a war that made many rich.

If there was ever a time when Americans were civil to each other and could reasonably disagree, it wasn’t at our Founding. People had some wildly different ideas about “freedom” and “liberty”.

Kind of amazing that our country came out of that, but in it we are already seeing the seeds of our demise. [/quote]
Yep. All of the above. [/quote]
