Do you have a victory arch commemorating the American Revolution in your /cunt/ ?
No.
We don't have a victory arch commemorating the secession war of a bunch of opportunistic, power-grabbing, hypocritical upper-class liberal bourgeois lawyers, landowners, plantation owners, and politicians who shouted and stamped in the name of liberty to rouse the masses for their own greed — but it was all just noise.
>monument to the victory of your enemy
very Canadian sentiment, how did this end up in the UK?

Probably Whig politics of the era, British political leaders like Fox were pro-American back then

The Whig political minority in Britain at the time felt that the Tory government was also trampling over their rights in a similar way to what they were doing in America and so enjoyed watching them fuck up the handling of the war.

The archives in Leeds have a document attributed to Sir Thomas Gascoigne giving his original statement for the arch, as follows, 'To that virtue which for a series of years resisted oppression and by a glorious race rescued its country and millions from slavery'. This was too lengthy for the available space and was edited to the inscription you see today.
The inscription on the Arch reads
>Liberty in N.America Triumphant MDCCLXXXIII
and is repeated on both evelations.

Well not now obviously. You and me, we're good buddies. But not so much back then.

Only about 1/3 of the population were Patriots but they lynched and violently persecuted the Royalists until they fled to Canada

Yes, independence was inevitable. It surprises me that the whole thing united as one and stayed that way though
