Yeah it took some time squigs, but really there was very little social movement post revolution for anyone that did not have that ability in the U.k.. That is how I look at revolutions, before and after. The five years idea is just a number, often revolutions fall apart sooner, some later. Jefferson and his use of presidential powers for the Louisiana purchase may have been the beginning to the end with the American one.

The opportunity did not reach outside of the white male, that is where I see it short of revolution. Revolution= (and mind you this is my organic definition, meaning I am not taking wiki or google for this one) radical social, political and economic change that effects the majority of the populace in any country.First off, it wasn't the UK then--it was the British Empire. Second, there was an absolute explosion of opportunity in this country post-revolution. In fact, there have been several such leaps in the intervening time. The push to educate the masses. The creation of the middle class, etc., etc.
If you think nothing changed as a result of America's revolution you must be from an alternate dimension.
I'm no America fanboy, but I think you've been very short sighted on this one.
As neither one of us were alive at the time, I'd say it would be difficult to pinpoint when things went to pot after the revolution. From what I know of Thomas Jefferson and his Presidency it was not then. Jefferson hated tyranny, banks, grew his own pot, and IMHO was a very wise man.
I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.
Thomas Jefferson
THIS IS WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN!!!
Not only will it take getting rid of the TREASONOUS GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS in place right now.....but WE MUST KEEP the Corporations OUT of Government.
As far as revolution. What are the details, or in other words what would change in an utopian idea of revolution. How would the country have changed post revolution?
This made me literally laugh out loud! Ha! Thanks sky high.Yes...please explain. How >will< it all work? Who will feed these millions of civilian soldiers as they march to victory over the Evil Black overlord?
