    that is so true.
    No it's not. It's because the Americans who ended up fighting the Revolutionary War were oppressed by the King of Britain. It's because they were taxed without representation, forced to quarter troops, and all together treated like dirt. It's because of every man, woman, and child who took up arms (or otherwise helped) in order to free ourselves and become a new country. It's because of those brave men that we celebrate the fourth, not because of the country that we broke away from. We gained our independence from Great Britain by force, it wasn't handed to us on a silver plate.

    To say that it's because of the oppressive country in the war that we have independence is like saying african americans have their slave owners to thank for their freedom. And that would be disgusting, and enraging, to hear.

    I never said it was, I was merely mentioning that without us, you'd have never needed to fight the oppression and thus not celebrating Independence Day. It was only meant as a joke anyway, I have a lot of respect for the USA, because after all my girlfriend is a Chicagoan.
