George Washington is a hero to us and a traitor to the British. It is a matter of opinion.

IMHO he had every right to rebel.

The British tried to pay off the massive debt they accumulated during the Seven Years War by taxing the American colonies.

First there was the Sugar Act in 1764.

Then there was the Stamp Act in 1765.

Then there was the Tea Act in 1773.

And to boot-licking Union apologists like you, Robert E. Lee is a 'traitor' and that too, is nothing but your worthless opinion.
