How did we get our freedom from britain?

Question

Was King George III killed or was he eventually persuaded to give us our freedom? or am i just wrong?

Answer 1

We succeeded in succession by making it too costly to enforce British rule, pure social and material economics. The French should be given some credit, as Ben Franklin convinced them to support the revolution and provide much needed supplies to the Americans.

Answer 2

Hi,

America (now, of course, the USA) won its independence and freedom from English rule by whipping our asses!

There are many reasons for this, firstly the tremendous distances involved, which made the sending of troops and supplies so difficult for the British and, not least, the tremendous ill-feeling against us (the English) because of the impositions put on the American people by King George and his governors.

King George was not killed in the conflict, and lived for several more years ruling over Britain.

When the war was obviously won by the American people the signing of your 'Declaration of Independence' brought about the official end to British rule in America...and you seem to have done OK since.

Cheers,

Answer 3

First, the Continental Congress met in Philadelphia, where they adopted the Declaration of Independence as written by Thomas Jefferson. Next, Gen. George Washington led a war of independence, which ended with the surrender of the opposing British General Lord Cornwallis. George III of Britain and his cabinet ministers could only watch it all happen.

Answer 4

Well, in eighteen and fourteen we took a little trip
along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip.
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans,
And we caught the bloody British near the town of New Orleans.

We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin.
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago.
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

Well, I see'd Mars Jackson walkin down the street
talkin' to a pirate by the name of Jean Lafayette [pronounced La-feet]
He gave Jean a drink that he brung from Tennessee
and the pirate said he'd help us drive the British in the sea.

The French said Andrew, you'd better run,
for Packingham's a comin' with a bullet in his gun.
Old Hickory said he didn't give a dang,
he's gonna whip the britches off of Colonel Packingham.

We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin.
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago.
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

Well, we looked down the river and we see'd the British come,
and there must have been a hundred of 'em beatin' on the drum.
They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring
while we stood by our cotton bales and didn't say a thing.

Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise
if we didn't fire a musket til we looked 'em in the eyes.
We held our fire til we see'd their faces well,
then we opened up with squirrel guns and really gave a yell.

We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin.
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago.
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

Well, we fired our cannon til the barrel melted down,
so we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round.
We filled his head with cannon balls and powdered his behind,
and when they tetched the powder off, the gator lost his mind.

We'll march back home but we'll never be content
till we make Old Hickory the people's President.
And every time we think about the bacon and the beans,
we'll think about the fun we had way down in New Orleans.

We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin,
But there wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago.
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
