People forget that George Washington was a traitor of the British crown directly - Which, of course I support however, Washington did not actually dismantle such power structures, simply transferring ownership of them
- vundercind 2y agoOne of my history professors once took an aside to note that the American “Revolution” is a bad name for the event, because there was very little change in power structures: the people in power before the war, were largely still in power after. War for independence, yes. Revolution? Eh, not really.
