We only had to defeat the Brits and make them leave, then we could be free in our own land. We did not have to eradicate the British monarchy and it’s widespread aristocracy in order to achieve liberty. The French fight was going to be bitter, bloody, vengeful, brutal and merciless, and very personal from day one.
It would be like us trying to overthrow the establishment in America today. A revolution is very a different critter than a separatist revolt.
Well. Fasten your seatbelts. That is where we’re headed.
