Gee, I wonder what other countries opined about the Colonies back in 1776? Independence is good for we but not for thee?
Enemies of England were elated, with several countries pitching in to aid the Patriot cause, most notably France. Allies of England were not so thrilled, and generally agreed with the English that we were “rebels.” The King blamed it on religion, terming it the “Presbyterian Rebellion.”
Gee, in the first place Scotland is not a colony, far from it in fact. It is essentially self-governing. Aside for that, do you think there might be a few differences between America /England in 1776 and Scotland/UK in 2014?
