[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3789481, member: 63706"] You mean it was illegal to declare independence from Britain? You mean the founders were all different people with different perspectives, goals and ambitions? You mean that in order to secede from the British Empire they had to get a huge number of colonists on board (at least 2/3 of 50% or less, I'm guessing), and a lot of the British citizen colonists were slave owners because slavery had been considered a legitimate economic institution for thousands of years? All of this is such earth-shattering news to me. I'm gonna need to sit down for a bit. Btw, do you think life would be better or worse if we had stayed a British Colony? [/QUOTE]
