How old do you think we are? All of those people are dead and I guarantee you weren't around either.

Um... if you are from Britain then you will know that we revolted against King George III because he was a crazy lunatic. Have you ever read anything about the American Revolution? You should. We whipped your arses with farmers who fought with pitchforks. Your people were trained military men who lost against us. We fought like we fight today. We didn't line up and fire, line by line with a drum. Stupid Brits.
Duh. Do you know anything? You're Kings and Queens made colonies here and that is why we speak English. Why would we speak a different language if it was your people settling here?
I don't really think that you are from Britain. You would know this if you were.

I don't know if americans betrayed ur queen or not. Americans speak English because if u didnt know already White people who came to America were from England and they spoke english. So England pretty much ruled america until the war and they got their independence.

first off, we don't speak your language. there's a big difference between. the queen's english and american english.
bad grammar aside, we did not betray your queen. we owe no allegiance to any queen, so there could never be a "betrayal".
may i suggest you find and procure a couple of text books; let's say English Grammar and Western History. good luck.

For the same reasons every other group that was subjugated by colonial rule did.And unless the "king" George was a cross dresser we didn't betray your queen.If we hadn't revolted we'd all be speaking German now.Remember our entrance into the European theater saved your butts.

I believe it was King George, unless he was gay, then I guess he was a queen. The concept that royalty being an accident of birth and not Divine rule still evades you? Incest is not best..

We didn't go against your queen, it was your king. we were slipping your queen the high hard one on the side
