>American revolution was about kicking foreigners out

>>3378081
It was opposing an outside rule rather than overhauling an entire system from within like the ones mentioned, or the Spring of Nations and to some extent 1989.

Revolution turns into chaos, and authoritarians can bring back order faster than any other solution.

they didn't follow Socrates' forms of government law

Nothing to do with foreigners, the Americans were ethnically English living in the same country as other Englishmen. It was about independence.

Americans saw the English as being essentially foreigners by that point.

>independence

Outside of what? If Dallas declares indpendence from the rest of Texas, does it mean they view other Texans as foreigners?

America was a part of Britian much like Dallas is a part of Texas, faggot.

>America was a part of Britian

America was part of the British Empire until after the war, at which point America was no longer part of the British Empire. It's not that complicated. Of course, America was never actually part of Britain itself. Britain is an island in North Atlantic. America is a continent.

Because populations that defy the will of God and overthrow those whom He has granted the Divine right of rule, must inevitability endure God's Wrath until such a time as the weight of their sins has been purged through a baptism of blood.

Wrath is a sin. God is good boi
