And it was the Scots and Irish that kicked yoos out of the new world. Just look at the signatories on the declaration of independence. Mostly Scots.

Ahem!

OF the fifty-six members of the Continental Congress of 1776 who signed the Declaration of Independence, James Wilson of Pennsylvania and John Witherspoon of New Jersey were natives of Scotland. William Hooper of North Carolina, George Ross of Delaware, Thomas Nelson, Jr., of Virginia, and Philip Livingston of New York were of Scottish descent. Matthew Thornton of New Hampshire and James Smith and George Taylor of Pennsylvania were natives of Ulster; and Thomas McKean of Pennsylvania and Edward Rutledge of South Carolina were of Ulster-Scottish descent. John Hart of Hunterdon County, N. J., and Abraham Clark of Elizabeth, N. J., both from their names and the fact that both were from centers of Scottish settlement, were doubtless of Scots descent. Robert R. Livingston of New York and John Houston of Georgia, both of Scots descent, were active members of the Congress, but were absent on duty when the engrossed copy was signed (August 2, 1772) and their names do not appear.

Do you really need a history lesson? What do you think the British Empire was?

Answer; an international trading empire, based on exchange of goods by sea. Mostly tea, sugar, rum, slaves, opium and spices

Fuxakes.
So you're saying Sir Walter Raleigh had a hand in the British empire, is that really what you're saying?

The general historic view is that the Brits were desperate to get the Yanks Independence to control the printing of the Dollar, and the dopey twats looked like they were going to screw it up, so the Brits funded mercenaries by the back door to help them.

The signing of the Declaration (in particular some of the wording) was part of the same scam.

The Brits probably probably put the Jocks in there, knowing they'd be thick enough to fall for it.
