THE REVOLUTIONARY WARS; THE 1ST ONE AND COMING 2ND ONE

[Bob Russell]

I have an interest in military history and am quite knowledgeable about the founding of this once great nation.  I have noticed on many social network sites that some call Americans cowards, and worse, because We the People have not taken up arms against the tyrannical scum trashing the Constitution and trampling on our rights.  The ones calling us names are the same ones who go along to get along so they don't rouse the ire of anyone that espouses dictatorship.  I would like to take the opportunity here to remind people of the early history of the disharmony between the colonists and the British Government.  The early Americans, including Samuel and John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Nathan Hale, John Hancock, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and many more, considered themselves loyal British citizens well into the confrontation.  The colonists began to really get upset when the British government began direct taxes on the colonies to pay for the French and Indian War.  Many things happened in the escalation of bad feelings.  British warships began stopping and searching all colonial ships, often impressing sailors into service in the British navy.  The idea was to strangle the colonial economy in order to gain compliance with unjust taxation.
