The world would never see or experience freedom like today ...God bless America!

It's hard to figure how they'd lose without securing at least some privileges. Even if the continental army gets crushed, Washington gets hanged, etc. you're still talking about trying to occupy a country that's some 30 times the size of England at least. Just the cost of sending a thin leaven of troops to keep an eye on everything would be much more than the 13 colonies were worth.

>>1369609
Two ways this could happen

1. Parliament issues an apology and gives the colonists representation in parliament.
2. The colonies, now devastated from an exceedingly long war, concede defeat and become easy prey in their weakened state to Indian raids. British North America becomes an economic backwater as it never expands past the Appalachians.

A nuke.

Approaching ships on the horizon. They don't magically appear. It's always like they're emerging from the sea.

Also, what right did Caesar have to cross the Rubicon and impose himself on Rome?

Were the people better off under the Republic or the Empire?

What were public morals like immediately before the collapse of the Republic? Did the Empire increase Roman civic virtue or decrease it?

>For what reasons did Brutus, Cassius, Cicero, etc., so adamantly oppose Caesar?
The general opinion at the time was that Caesar fancied himself as king, although whenever he had a chance he denied such claims (usually because the crowd was always silent when the idea of a king was brought up)
The Republic always had great disdain for monarchy.

>Were the Roman people on the side of Caesar before his assassination?

Before and after, Rome was thrown into a civil war involving Caesar's adopted son Octavian (Augustus Caesar), Mark Antony, and the liberators (the conspirators) with the Senate backing Octavian.

>Was Caesar are better ruler than the SPQR?

While he only reigned as dictator in perpetuity for about a year he brought many reforms.

>Also, what right did Caesar have to cross the Rubicon and impose himself on Rome?

Caesar must of been at least a little desperate, he was going back to Rome as either king of the castle or not at all.

>Were the people better off under the Republic or the Empire?

The late republic was a cesspit of corruption,
The Grachi brothers and others were the first signs that the republic was falling, Caesar was the killing blow.

>What were public morals like immediately before the collapse of the Republic? Did the Empire increase Roman civic virtue or decrease it?

Well Augustus instituted many morality laws, like banning adultery for example these were viewed with mixed opinion and adultery was still very common.

>Also, what right did Caesar have to cross the Rubicon and impose himself on Rome?
>right
What right does anyone have to lead? He wanted the role and he took it.
Has it ever been different? Whether by social or political graces or by physical and martial intimidation someone always uses their resources to dominate. There is no justice in it past the pragmatic view of which leader would best promote the prosperity and longevity of his people. Plenty of assholes with no right to anything raped and pillaged their way to power and their victims lineages were better for it in the long run.

The Aztecs believed that a left handed warrior literally had superpowers.

Because most cunts trained to fight versus normally right handed people and here comes a chump with his Macahuitl in the "wrong" hand, screwing up everything you ever trained for.

I recall similar stories with the result of making one ambidexterous.

It has nothing to do with theology, and everything to do with the purpose of education, and discipline, being conformity.

>>1368933
Which is sort of incredibly seeing how one in ten people is left-handed.

The all time best biography on him is Washington by Ron Chernow. It's lengthy but unbelievably good.

Well the kingdom of Kush was real... But they weren't west African.

Also, isn't there more diversity amongst Africa?

But it is true. There were empires with sub Saharan Africa.

Also, a great deal of Islamification.

I don't know much of the specifics of the civil war, but if the South was successful in their push for independence, I think they'd end up as an English speaking Brazil.

We all know you think that, because you post it in every single thread about the Civil War.
