Basically, the colonists weren't extended CIVIL RIGHTS by 'The Crown.'
What started as an argument between the colonies and the King ended as a global war. As a matter of fact, it could be argued it was actually the first world war.
It encompassed the powers of many countries to defeat the English in 'The Americas.' The colonists accumulated allies. The British Isles were very powerful. The war to 'back' the colonists was a way of other sovereign authorities to dilute the power of England. England has wealth and with wealth came power directly from its 'colonial lands.' The 13 colonies of The Americas were providing Britain with great deal of wealth.
So. To disillusion the populous of the USA to believe this 'dreamscape' that exists due to 'Populous Politics' and put the history of the country in a neat little package to provide an impetus to a 'so called' new party based on history is grossly in disrespect of the actual suffering of the people of those times.
The Revolutionary War lasted a long time. It didn't end until 1783. It was a war of blood and bone. People suffered and died. I don't think that is taken seriously by the people that would seek to 'REPRESENT' the past and THE PURITY of our country.
The United States of America was 'won' by a global community, NOT simply a group of colonists determined to 'start a new venture.'
When people say, "The Founding Fathers," in the year 2010 it is almost as though it is a caricature of the past. A contrived truth. There is absolutely no reverences by the Tea Party or the Republicans to the ABSOLUTE truth of our ancestory and absolutely no reverence for the actual suffering of the people 'of the time.'
