The blood of thousands of Americans were shed in two wars with Great Britian so that Americans no longer had to bow to Royals, especially the "fuckin Queen of England"
Didn't we start both of them?
No.
The Declaration of Independece puts the colonies in a state of rebellion against the crown...That is "prima-fascia" evidence of the instigator of that conflict.
The War of 1812 the U.S. declared war on England not vis-versa.
Yes we started both of them
Great Britain marched troops to Lexington and fired well over a year before the American Colonies moved to declare their independence.
So you are saying that the British troops at Lexington fired at British citizens. Which pretty much substantiates what I posted earlier.
Great Britain began stopping and confiscating American trade vessels in 1807.
That same year they also began firing upon American Ships of War and impressing American Sailors into their Navy. Great Britain also refused to leave The Northwest Territory and continued to occupy American soil and began plans to create an Indian Free State there.
You did leave out the part that we owed them money as stipulated in the "Treaty of Paris" and they were trying to collect.
That the majority of the "impressed" seamen were in fact RN deserters.
"We" did not start either war.
Yes we did congress declared war on June 18, 1812
