I'd like to get my hands on a British history textbook, too.

Hey, in honor of Independence Day, here are two quotations from the king we rebelled against:

"I can never suppose this country so far lost to all ideas of self-importance as to be willing to grant America independence; if that could ever be adopted I shall despair of this country being ever preserved from a state of inferiority and consequently falling into a very low class among the European States."

"Knavery seems to be so much a striking feature of its inhabitants that it may not in the end be an evil that they will become aliens to this kingdom."

We love you too, George.

I like to see an American history book in our own schools that teach our REAL history instead of the twisted, revised versions
