As a former "American History" teacher, years ago, the curriculum was of simple facts. There were those who wanted to "rebel" and those who wanted to remain loyal. Most colonists wanted to remain loyal. :eek1: Yet, when faced with self-governance they surely embraced it? That is easy enough by looking at who repatriated themselves to England after the Declaration of Independence and after the formation of the new American government through the Constitution?
I am not sure that this forum is the proper one to dispute your assertion as to it being a civil war in America. I'll take rebellion against an Imperial power who wanted to fund it's war waged against another sovereign power [France in the form of the French and Indian wars] by imposing taxes against the colonials? England did reject the counter proposal for funding the war?
Hmmm ... I guess we all can learn the perspective of, and from, :chin: each other?
