Speaking broadly, 21st century Americans weaned on televison and public education are far different from the 18th century Americans who threw off the British yoke (with French assistance) and wrote the Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, Common Sense, Anti-Federalist papers, etc.Lodge2004 wrote:When you throw in the independent mindset and aversion to authority inherent in the majority of US citizens, it becomes very clear how we booted the Brits out and later bled so profusely in the War Between the States.
Also, by my reckoning it was the War of Northern Aggression---not the War Between the States or the "Civil War".
