thats exactly why i say that every british person (with some exceptions) is a shit-mouth tea drinking moron.

That's exactly the idiotic thing I hear about the British from a few Americans. Do you even know anything about our population?

They never had a war over it. A load of europeans came here and became americans over time.

Americans are the Brits who had the balls to come over here and to fight for what we believed in.

I don't understand how the Hell that's ironic. We fled your country, established a colony, and won independence.

I see no irony.

False.

According to Wikipedia, at least, the American forces numbered 20,000 soldiers with a further 230,000 militia, facing 12,000 British soldiers, 55,000 'loyalists' (probably also militia), around 30,000 Mercenaries (although it says citation is needed) and 5,000 natives.

Americans: 250,000.

British : 102,000.

So, yes, having the numerical advantage, the French navy making supplies or reinforcements difficult to non-existant for the British and knowing the terrain better, American won.

However it was not "a bunch of FARMERS" against "the whole British army", and to suggest so is ludicriously ignorant and skews the facts of the matter to the point of making any discussion fucking stupid.

They were amazingly strong. In fact, if not for the French, they would have sent the whole army over here and steamrolled us.

thats ironic. a bunch of FARMERS beat the whole Biritish army.

I also find it ironic that a bunch of FARMERS beat America's army about 4 or so years ago using pretty much the same tactics America used to defeat Britain. Ain't history funny?

By your analogy, everybody on the earth is a bunch of farmers. After all, we can all trace our ancestry back to foraging and shit, I'm sure.

We didn't steal it from the Brits. Most of it was either unmarked, native, or south American territory. The Brits were only taxing because it was the British people, which is wrong to do because the people who traveled to north America where completely independent from the British government's help.

So what? They revolted so they wouldn't have to pay a middle man, who gives?

doh. dude, you dont even know your history???
im canadian and i know it better.
look. first we were all farmers. ok?
and these farmers "imported" some british army. a'right? but after that, a couple decades later, some soldiers and farmers got pissed off at the rules about the tea and stamples. so here got born the patriots. but some patriots were actually soldiers. but even then, the patriots were so much owned by the british army. but a decade later they owned the british and quickly they the independance thingy.

You ever noticed that like sports teams when they play at their own home stadium they have a higher chance of winning? It's like they're more used to the weather or something. So ironic it's redeculuz!

Has anyone else noticed yet that it's like when you fart really bad it seems to have some sort of connection with the things you ate? Like when I eat way too much cnady followed closely by a pound or so of refried beans it's like I have to fumigate my entire house? That's like so ironic.

Man you know whats ironic is when blthhhhhhbbbbbbbbppppt... grnnnnnnthroopppppp......

Actually, the North was quite industrialized. It was because the colonists knew the land better than the British troops would ever know. The colonists could plan the attacks better.

If the British had traitors helping them and had Native Americans who were famous for their tracking skills I would say that both army's had a more or less equal knowledge of the terrain.
But the British locked themselves into their military maneuvers and fought a new war with old strategy's.

What's your point? Farmers did allot more work than those British fags. While they were drinking their tea, we were growing our crop and doing work.

That's funny, seeing as how Europe, and Asia, practically built America with waves of immigrants. That's like saying your heritage in America is better than it's original origin. What?

They'res a difference between a singular army and an empire.

Also, what makes you believe the population were merely farmers during American indipendance? A lack of historical knowledge is the best bet.

I vastly prefer a democratic republic to a god damned monarchy, even if the royalty in question only exist as tourist attractions.
