informative inspiring reflective

5.0

 Well this was a good one. Gives insight into the British perspective of the American Revolution and details how the odds were against them; At least they made better business partners with the Native Americans! Did I mention how the loyalist strength was overestimated and how the aftermath of the Seven Years War left Britain as the threat to balance of power in Europe(in a 'you have become the thing you swore to destroy') and that they didn't help Portugal when Spain invaded it in 1776...yeah.
PS MUCH better than the America Rock segments of Schoolhouse Rock! Take that! Sons of Liberty my butt! More like Sons of Insurrection!
