Frankly, I've never heard either called a British case. I just thought Ansel12 was making the point that it was a British case since we were still under British rule at the time. That would apply to the Salem witch trials also. Perhaps Ansel is just trying to point that fact out since most people don't place these things in their original context of history.

I do think of British things as British, and Spanish things as Spanish.
With liberals I found myself defending all types of things in history, finally in the last 20 yrs or so I've starting responding with answers such as, that is French history or Spanish history, U.S. history doesn't start until we came into existence.
