>>107040160- the plantation system evolved from the fuedal manor system. it was a natural outcome of greed, and not british policy.
- the taxes were much more limited that you're expressing, and we to pay for Washington's massive fuck up that started the French-indian war.
- the Colonists were forbidden from crossing the Appalachias before it was beyond British control, and the colonists had a habit of fucking things up where ever they went.
- it's not a form of capitalism - it's just capitalism. adapt or fail.
>>107030485We still saw Washington as a heroic figure, when in his own time the French were a little uneasy about him, seeing as how he personally kicked off the french-indian war by allowing [possibly ordering] his troops to massacare french soldiers. He was a shitty commander who took credit for Colonel Stuben's work, and pulled his own slave's teeth for his dentures.
Ben Franklin disowned his own son, and Jefferson was a 5 star hypocrite who owned his own children, treated his wife like a hostage with stockholm syndrome, and never freed them. The founding fathers were terrorists who were propped up by the French as part of a Franco-British proxy war.
The UK didn't even really want the colonies. That's why a quarter of their forces were German peasants who were given a choice by their ruling class; serve in the British army and make me lots of money - or hang. Fuck, most of the British military was in India for the war.
We saw the mention of slavery, genocide and loss - but it was heavily filtered and covered in America sauce that didn't show the realities of the time.
