The Fat Electrician tells this story the best. A little PG but the guy can tell a story!!!
I think it was about 1/3 for the revolution. 1/3 for England and 1/3 didn't care.I'm having to constantly remind folks that the 'patriots' in the American Revolution were terrorist up until we won. And contrary to what you see in movies and on TV about the revolution, we were not only fighting Red Coats but a lot of our neighbors and folks who had been our friends. Sadly it is what some folks seem to want to do today......
There was some guy who survived a massacre lead by Tarlton here in S.C. that got shot and stabbed and even parts cut off and lived to tell about it.
I think if people diligently used the ballot box this would not be an issue. If they understood the true founding values of this country and believed it to be good, we would not be here. in this mess.It doesn't have to be the American Revolution,, it can be anything. If a person believes in something,, and are of a strong mind,, they can & will fight HARD no matter the odds or what's against them. Age isn't the limiting factor,, their mentality is.
