Are they talling about the same war???? >> Well, America always fails to mention how Britain (and much of European) was herself up to its knickers in wars in Europe, therefore was unable to properly attend to the "colonies." Had we tried our "revolution" starting in say 1885, the Brits would have wiped our butts everyday and twice on Sundays. Old Ben Franklin was more than an adequate spy, he was also very perceptive. He reported the coming "window of opportunity" to the "Founding Fathers" who made their move as Britain began to founder. We also ~never~ mention how the French bankrupted* themselves helping us. So the "revolution" was really a safe bet when they started their agitation. *We paid them back in 1792 with mounds of cash and our blockading of certain sea approaches to Haiti and San Dominique at the beginning of the Haitian Revolution*. *The true story of which America tells another series of blatant lies.
