Here we are, nearly 2 1/2 centuries after the American Revolution - and we haven’t learned a damn thing about freedom. Most people would tell you the revolutionary war was fought between England and the Colonists. While true in a sense, it would be more accurate to say the war was fought between England and a minority of the colonists. The distinction is an important one. On one side was England, a fading empire, up to their eyeballs in debt, but an empire none the less. Just like every fallen empire before them from the Sumerians through the Romans, they tried to keep their crumbling empire together by increasing taxation and sharply curtailing the freedom of their subjects.
