I saw a picture of a protest by Native American's recently, one of the protesters held a banner that said 'In 1492, Native American's discovered Christopher Columbus, lost at sea'.
The ones I've seen did. The Brits had to pay French mercenaries to come and help you out because the Americans were so close to losing and that was never part of the plan. There's some cracking information about it on line showing how it was associated with control of printing the money.
Well if you paid off the french to fight you it was only fair after you paid German mercenaries to fight us.
Anyway our revolution had nothing at all to do with oppression nor freedom and everything to do with taxes to the small percentage of rich merchants who happened to also be the leading figures in the colonies. We were not treated badly by the British.
They mess up the chapter around April/May 1945 too. It's a very flawed book is the American History book
It probably doesn't help that the spell checker on here has honour, theatre and centre listed as typographical errors; guessing it's based on an American dictionary? Also, why do American's say Eyeraq (Iraq) and Eyeran (Iran) but not Eyetaly (Italy), Eyendia (India) or Eyendonesia (Indonesia)?
Yes. We pronounce things differently than you because we are a bunch of moronic arseholes as evidenced by everything I type. Wombat Erik on the other hand is nothing but a gentleman.
Pronouncing the word Caribbean (ka-rih-BEE-uhn) as kuh-RIB-ee-uhn and leaving an second i out of aluminium by Yanks drives me mad - as for center and color - its so wrong. Annoyingly they aslo buy our popular comedy programmes (Till death us do part, The Office and now Gavin & Stacey et al) but have to change then with their own characters and North American humour and can't leave things alone - unlike us, we keep Cheers and Friends as they were.
