thruxton, many of us here are of western european ancestry...you know, english, welch, scot, irish, dutch, french and ah little bit spanyard...
many of our ancestors came here to escape the tyranny that was practised by the self proclaimed british royalty...we don need no kings nor queens nor any o dat here...thank you very much...
I'd be fascinated if you could tell me more about this "tyranny". In 1215 we had the Magna Carta which was a complete sea -change of citizens rights. In 1620,,30 members of the English Seperatist Church along with a number of traders popped over the Atlantic to practice their religion away from the evil influence of the Church of England. By 1780 America was independent. Was all the tyranny occurring during those 150 years or was it something else entirely. You say they went to America to "escape tyranny" so is it possible that they were being tyrannised in England,Wales, Scotland, Holland, Ireland and France by English Royalty. Its so important to be clear about these things don't you think.
