Being trusted into entering most secreted and vital areas but then delivering the keys of your nation to your nation's enemy.
Fun fact, Martin Luther King Jr.'s Communist handler and speech writer, Stanley Levinson, handled their defense.

I start:
>Britain had a huge empire and was a superpower during the 18th century
And consequently
>Odds were against the rebels in the American Revolution
I swear American cultural dominance since WW2 has lead to such an ignorant overrating of Britain historically, it's barely bearable
What was at the time seen as a meek European country with a relatively small empire and the shittiest land army of the era is now believed to have been a superpower with a huge global empire and an elite army
All that because Americans want to think that their revolution was impressive

How the fuck was Britain not the most important world power in 1775?

>>3295469

See the map in the OP?
Take the orange part, add the tiny 13 colonies to that and you have the British "empire" in 1775
Does it look like a global superpower to you?

From what I got they weren't some strictly organized and trained formations.

very well equipped, reasonably disciplined, high morale

>>3286638
Yeah but a guy got a contract, rounded up some guys from his territory, those guys brought few helpers, and they all provided their own equipment.
They didn't have some special training or organization, in fact it's a pretty simple/primitive way to organize forces, yet they pretty much raped their opposition.

> rounded up some guys from his territory, those guys brought few helpers, and they all provided their own equipment.
Yeah, just to sum up - they were volunteers.
>They didn't have some special training or organization
He didn't say that, and recruitment process has nothing to do with training and tactics used.

Ending slavery was morally wrong.
The greatest nation on earth was built by slaves which means that we missed on a lot of progress by abolishing it.
Imagine all the lives in Africa not being wasted on dying from starvation and being used for something greater instead. And the progress could save billions of people in the future for centuries to come.

I want to be able to reason philosophically. Most of my opinions are just passion that I cannot articulate in a way that would even make sense to someone already sympathetic to my position, let alone convince someone hostile to it.
I also struggle to write more than 5 paragraphs at a time in a way that cohesively argues one point. I am too scatter brained and distracted. The best I can do most of the time is parroting what smarter men have said.
How do I improve myself in these regards?

Then get out of here. Just read books. Stop wasting your time and keep reading. Read the footnotes/endnotes, read those books, read essays and journal entries about those books, and read the critical responses to those. You will get absolutely nothing here of any intellectual value whatsoever.
