Our ancestors ended the rule of kings on planet Earth. The yankees had given up…but we never did. Southern men killed the redcoats in such great numbers at Kings Mountain, Cowpens and Yorktown that ole George (named after the place he shipped our ancestors to under penalty of transportation; stripped of our wives and children) sued the 13 States for peace. There were no major battles in the northern States during the final two years of the war.
General Washington, a Southerner, swore to defend the “said United States” at Valley Forge…the Free, Independent, Sovereign States of America.
Deo Vindice on this 250th anniversary of the end of the reign of kings.
The cancerous corrupt organism that rules the US and its figurehead, Trump, are 10 times more dangerous, powerful, and unaccountable than George III. The American Revolution was the one and only “good” war, and the prosperity we enjoy today comes from the years of relative freedom that flowed from that revolution. But Lincoln, FDR, the CIA, the Zionists, and the natural tendency of governments over time to become corrupt have left us mere vestiges of the liberty gained by the Revolution.
Prof. Livingston’s time-rushed last few minutes were full of substance without fluff. Eugene Genovese’s last quote in particular. But most of us are not used to the word Hobbesian, and you will not necessarily find the relevant definition–roughly, citizens must give up many of their rights to the government for that government to provide them safety and happiness–when you search for a definition. Prof. Livingston, dilating a little bit in written form on your closing sentences wouldn’t be a bad thing.
