Out of curiousity, where does everyone stand on revolting along the period of time, was it smart to have revolted or should we have stayed under tyrannical rule and bring a chain of events that followed that keep ending in beats of war and devastation? I personally say all for the revolting for it made us a stronger nation and we can learn from our past mistakes.
tough question that can only be answered over a very long period of time. The American Revolutionary War for example; the events that lead up to an actual shooting war lasted over 10 years. The Boston masacre occurred in 1770 but the battles at Lexington and Concord were 5 years later. None of those decisions occur over night by one man or by a group of men. And even during the war, 25% of the population were against Revolution, 25% were in favor of separating from England and the remaining 50% didn't give a flying fuck one way or another.
