Europeans "drove you away" by issueing an Royal Charter for the formation of a Company that you bought shares in? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charter_of_the_Massachusetts_B... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirteen_Colonies > Americans that were determined to keep that government power/tyranny of the majority that had been used to murder/opress/expel them in check. By using majority tyranny to work enslaved Europeans, Native Americans, and later Africans as engines of the fields? You have a very blinkered rosy eyed picture of the colonial settlement of the USofA. The colonies were very much European sponsored investment enterprises with owners and stockholders with European values in addition to being opposed to Crown taxes raised by batshit loons with Royal blood (an issue in Europe and not just the US). Post independance trade continued and the original colonies remained Anglophile (the English colonies at least, the Dutch and other colonies also retained European ties). |
