Ok but the American foundational mythology is kino doe

Washington lost more battles than he won. Also all the founding fathers begged the British king not to further escalate tension and called themselves loyal British subjects mere months before the revolution. It was eye-opening learning this stuff. Also learning the absolutely decisive role France had. There should be a French flag on every state capitol

>A bunch of opportunistic, power-hungry lawyers and landowners, using honeyed words of “liberty” to convince the masses to die for their cause—so they could stop paying dues to the crown and hoard all the money for themselves
Honestly, the gayest and lamest thing I’ve ever read about. One of the rare times the Brits were actually the good guys.

Washington was nco of the British militia, he wanted an officer job but the crown refused so he rebelled just to create a new country so he can be a general

only in usa, there was a survey asking people what they liked in paintings and lot said frankling, but the more you lurk more will you know about that old figure

that’s what makes it cool they were holding that shit together with a shoe string. he managed to keep up esprit de corps just by being a beloved moral figure

Everyone knows this. They also know that winning the war is more important than winning the battle.

Everyone knows this too. Also other Europeans helped. We have schools named after Von Steuben and public holidays for Casimir Pulaski.

Yes his motivational skills were probably his biggest asset. Keeping the men together during harsh winters despite the fact they were irregular militia and legally allowed to go home after their term ended is very impressive

Disagree on the second part. I definitely think a lot of people believe there was a strong general independence movement in the US which only culminated with the Boston tea party. In fact the Americans did everything possible not to be in a conflict but the idiotic decisions by the king forced their hand

Easily a top 5 moment for white people

americans love to talk shit about france and how they always surrender dude
some shitty schools names isn't enough

Acknowledging France's terrible performance in WWII doesn't take away from the close ties from the revolutions and the statue of liberty being grifted.

Not even gonna reply to the absolute rubbish propaganda of Washing tons of mcburgers being a heckin wholesome good guy who was keeping everything together, when the reality was way more complicated.
