IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776 ??????? WWII ???????
The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
So you are telling me that this is not offencive to British, It is undouptly a point made to the British & our history, something you admitted when you said,
"and with all due respect to our British friends (especially you Moofy), "
You expect for us to just agree, sit there and take it, NO SIR.
Perhaps the following should be added.
Procolmation of 1763 by King George III of England,
To the relief of the Cherokees, The document promised that there would be no more white settlements in the Appalachian Mountians , and all that points west, unfortunaly there was no way to in force this law, But does show the interest and compassion of England , whom felt that the Indians deserved more than they were recieving from there own country men.
If indeed this forum is to be used for history lesson of 1776, then i suggest we all get our history books out and learn more.
As I said before I thought the forum was to be used for WWII.
: Realizing this is a departure from this site's stated purpose, and with all due respect to our British friends (especially you Moofy), I post the following link.
