I’m replying to you what you wrote to me.

You didn’t need to reply back if you didn’t want to.

“If our Founders had all agreed on something, it would have been done; not to mention the fact that early on, most of those living here, from Europe, were PROTESTANTS and mainly from what is today the UK, Holland, and Germany.”

So if our first Congress had decided to pick one of the denominations found in the colonies and impose it as the established religion, that simply would have been done? I think not. They would have had another rebellion on their hands. There wasn’t that level of acceptance of other denominations, even other Protestant ones.

“Our founders WERE a small group of the ELITE. Even uncouth Andy Jackson was a general.”

What about the individual contributions of all the colonial Americans who weren’t the leadership?

Thank you SO much for PROVING, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that you do NOT know what you're talking about! :-)

One third of the colonists, didn't care, one third were loyal to the Kind and England, and one third were for the revolution and separating from the crown. Of that remaining third, those who were members of the Continental Congress were the wealthy/upper middle class, with a very few middle classers thrown in.

Of the first presidents, ALL were an ELITE class.

I'd give you an in depth history lesson, but you can't afford to pay my fee and I shan't do it for free. Now go away...I'm bored with feeding your masochism.
