As I watch Ken Burns' series "The American Revolution"

[walkingman]

5. I never thought of the American Revolution as our first "Civil War" because all we learned

in HS was dates and battles. For those that haven't seen the first couple of episodes...there was a large contengent of Americans that were loyalists versus those that wanted to separate from King George III's rule.

I personally wished we were a pure Democracy versus a Republic because 250 years later, living in a state like Texas is like living in another country. Doesn't seem right to have one set of rules based on State borders when the other side of that border are entirely different rules and laws. An example being NM/Texas.

I think majority should rule, there should be no electoral college, and as the Constitution said "All Men Are Created Equal" when in actuallity they knew that was not the case.

I know many people would say...Just Move...but when you have family, land, and are old....it is not that easy. ☮
