As the nation that fought against you in the war of 1812 - I see the begining if the US as that of a traitior who commited treason against thier Crown - It pleases me that we won against you and that we preserved our place on the map as that of a nation true to it's crown .

Nothing is said about eh 25 million Rusians who died to secure victory in the 2nd war either and bye the by you may have won the right to be independant but that fight spoke volumes of your esential charater - a character that you to your credit in some respects remain true to

Lets work out a ratio of 6 million jews to 25 million russians one day and then analyse that against publisity shall we ?

Your claims as always are lofty - yet there is ample evidence to suggest they are but claims - Torture camps in Cuba and the governments protection of wanted persons accused by the Italians of war crimes say to me that the USA the traitor of yesterday is good at public relations but fails to deliver freedom or justice but rather it's behavior is consistant of a socio path traitor - saying what is wanted to be heard but delivering none

Answer 1

You have absolutely ran out of questions!

Answer 2

History is ALWAYS written by the winner and from the winner's perspective. But with reasoning such as yours, is it so surprising that the Supreme Court came up with the Dred Scott decision?
That is why we hear so much about the Armenian Genocide, Turkey lost the war. The same with the Holocaust, if Germany had won, nothing would have been said about the murder of 6 million Jews.

Answer 3

Any act which calls for, counsels, aids or abets the armed overthrow of a lawful government can be classed as either sedition or treason. As far as character goes, it takes character and courage of the highest magnitude to stand up for the right.. But, as Thoreau wrote, "Killing is murder, unless done to the beat
of drums.
I dont know what your problem with the US is, but face facts, friend. This is one of the few lands remaining where speech critical of government is allowed.

Answer 4

depends on the perspective. Brits see it as treason because Americans rose up and kicked them out of our country. Why should some small Island rule over an area larger than them?

makes no sense.

anyway, it doesnt matter. Victors write history. not losers (in this case, Americans write history, not lobsterbacks)

Answer 5

Sure. But that's true of any civil war or any war for independence.

If the rebels lose, it was treason. If they win, then they were patriots and freedom fighters and founding fathers.

That's the nature of politics and government.

Answer 6

So sorry we didn't let wave after wave of invading hordes shape our nation. Not very sporting of us. Would you like to try again?

Edit: Trout: Was actually in reference to the birth of Britain, to compare character as such....
