I know you sort of hate America, and apparently wish it had died at several points, but King George didn’t have a ton of great options during the Revolution.

The British military simply wasn’t big enough to occupy the entirety of the colonies AND fight Washington in the north AND try to control the South AND deal with Spain and France on the continent.

At least he could not have done so without a major impressment, which would have gone over like a fart in church.

You "know" wrongly. I don't hate America, I just recognize that it was founded on a principle that everyone has a right to independence from what they view as an oppressive government. How can we not live up to what we proclaimed we believed when the founders created this nation?

If you mean they had to "chose", I will point out that they could have done so, and they could have chosen against us.

As Lincoln said: "One war at a time."

At least he could not have done so without a major impressment, which would have gone over like a fart in church.

Which is what Lincoln did, and it didn't go over very well. Worst riots in history, in fact. So tell me, is it reasonable to enslave men if you are sending them to fight someone who has never done them any wrong?
