How about the Civil War?
"How about the Civil War?"
It was bloodier in terms of total numbers, but in terms of the percentage of the population killed or maimed, the American Revolution was actually worse than the beating the French suffered at the hands of the Germans in World War I, or the Russians suffered at the hands of the Germans in World War II.
About 16% of the American population was wounded or killed in the American Revolution. The percentages in the Civil War were down around 4%.
The only modern wars that was as comparably brutal on the population in terms of sheer carnage were the Mexican Revolution and the Killing Fields of Cambodia.
The American Revolution was just unbelievably bad, and nowhere was it worse than down South, where it also turned into a murderous Civil War to boot.
Annapolis Grads accross the world are shaking their heads.
Evidently the esteemed Mr. Carter, son of the South, doesn't know the Civil War was the bloodiest war the US was ever involved in, speaking of the casualties suffered on both sides by THIS country. He was probably speaking globally, wait, that's not it, the commies killed millions, he was probably speaking....gosh I don't have a clue what he was talking about.
Yep, he must have slept or been digging peanuts through those lectures; what a total asshat.
If the whole colonies remained under British Crown the slavery would be abolished earlier without civil war. The whole North America would be one big Canada :)
You "beat me to the punch"!What an ABSOLUTE,AMERICA-HATING IDIOT!!It's small wonder that he was our WORST POTUS(BeelzeBubba's next)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
