I can't speak for the majority of americans, and I don't, but no the war wasn't about that. It was about setting up a new world that tried to do away with the class and caste systems. But paying England tax for nothing in return was not appreciated I would assume.
Whether you're a terrorist or a revolutionary depends on who wins.
What do they tell you guys the revolution was about over there? How is that part of history treated? I am curious to know what you think, as I have never really considered the British position... Americans hold it in high regard, but at least 80% have no idea what it meant, and how it affected their lives today. It's all been hollywood-ized over here...
But there are some of us that understand what they were trying to achieve with every man being a sovereign, and a high level of human rights. We know that they aren't rights we are granted that we try to protect, but more responsibilities we have to others... But yeah, 9 out of 10 Americans would just look at you when you talked about their history and blink and blink...
