Yep. Then join the bloods or crips or some other ethnic gang. When you do the same things, albeit for different reasons, you're a shoe in.
So what is it, we resent foreigners coming here and k*****g Americans - because we reserve the right to do it ourselves? Remember, the American revolution was against a FOREIGN Government.

Actually it wasn't.We were a colony of England so it was a r*******n against our ruler and also somewhat of a civil war since we were also fighting the Loyalists.

The English Government was not IN America, just it's representatives. The premise of the revolution was "self rule", where Americans would be represented by Americans - not English nobility. So, we were fighting a foreign government - not our own - as we didn't have one until the Continental Government was formed.
As to the Tory's, it was their choice - to join Americans or remain British subjects - so there was no civil was either.

Appreciate the viewpoint, but that's kind if like saying that because our "Government" is in D.C. it's not really another states government. And as for not being a "civil war", I think those at Kings Mountain might view it differently.
