You forgot the part where George Washington got his hands on a magical artifact called the Apple of Eden which allowed him to control the minds of people and become King of the North American colonies.

Fun Fact: the 2nd Amendment was created in direct response to the attempted capture of the militia armory at Lexington & Concorde, so that the militiamen (National Guard of their time), who drilled regularly and formed the Continental Army under direction of Congress, would have access to their weapons instead of needing to muster at an armory first.

You forgot the part where Mel Gibson single handedly defeated the whole British army.

The United States became a country because a bunch of rich entrepreneurs and FARMERS, didn't want to keep paying taxes that they felt were unfair. Wish we had the nuts now that we did then.

The involvement of the Catholic monarchies against Protestant Britain is severely underestimated when discussing the revolutionary war.

Britain NOT England. They are not interchangeable. It's like if you said Texas when you actually meant the USA

The first shot of the American Revolution at the Battle of Lexington and Concord is referred to as the "shot heard 'round the world" due its historical and global significance. The Revolutionary War victory not only established the United States as the first modern constitutional republic, but marked the transition from an age of monarchy to a new age of freedom by inspiring similar movements worldwide. The American Revolution was the first of the "Atlantic Revolutions": followed most notably by the French Revolution, the Haitian Revolution, and the Latin American wars of independence. Aftershocks contributed to rebellions in Ireland, the Polish-Lothuanian Commonwealth, and the Netherlands.

Fun Fact: When Ben Franklin arrived in France after being sent by Congress to garner support for the Patriots he quickly realized that the French conducted politics a lot differently than the Americans and he had to play along. Franklin in no time would become a master of the French Art of Politics called "The Salon."

It wasnt a revolution against England but Britain. Its like me saying how Carolina started a revolution against Britain.

The part that doesn't get talked about enough is the fact that the French Navy was able to fend off the famed British Navy enough to actually get enough ships across the Atlantic to be able to beat the British at Chesapeake.

You know the British dont even learn about this i school. It's looked at as a little peace of land they lost. Out of the 70% of the world they were in control of.
