Trying to remember something

There were only two factions in both wars and all fought pretty well.

Are you referring to a certain militia maybe?

>>1675737
No it wasn't a faction that actually fought in a war, it was a faction that basically spouted a lot of angry rhetoric and calls to violence but whenever it came time to fight or rebel they never actually got around to doing anything.

Maybe Burgers?

there are quotes by famous people who basically call them out on their shit for endlessly debating when a call to action was their only recourse.

Now that i think about it, I think it has something to do with the Stamp Act and the Revolutionary war

Border states? This isn't /b/ you might as well get the popcorn ready because your going to be waiting a while, threads usualy start slow here

Burghers?

>>1675791
Yeah, that sounds right. Do you have any info i could look up? I'm going to google it right now.

>>1675798
I sorta googled it and found something about Burghers in New Amsterdam related to the stamp act.

I'll look around a little more.

>>1675798
jeesus, google, when did you become useless?

>>1675707
tbqh it sounds like something from the War of 1812.

>>1675798
Honestly can't find anything on google. Sorry.

Burgher's were pretty wealthy and probably would've grown up with a very romanticized vision of war, hence being cowards when it actually comes to fighting. That could've been what happened.

Don't take my word for it though as i do not know the particular group of burgher's you're referring to or whether you're referring to the social group as a whole.

i dunno. google is being a shit and I took US history 10 years ago. I can't even remember the name of the textbook I used.

Its not like this is critical information, but this is supposed to be the kind of thing the internet is supposed to remember and archive for us, not meta-data on miley cyrus ads.

thanks for trying bro.

Burgher is actually a very loose word that has many different definitions. I think what you're describing might've been wealthy merchants (sometimes called burghers) as they were heavily affected by the laws enacted by the British.
