Major Andre was a British officer. he was hanged as a spy after being captured out of uniform after communicating with Arnold.
Tom Jefferson would be mad that we only had ONE Civil war. We are long overdue..
They would have hanged him, but he slipped away. Arnold switched sides, fought for the British, and fled to England after the war.
His life in England was a series of miserable failures, until he croaked in 1795.

Correct. Major Andre got the shaft on that one. And not one British officer wanted to mingle with Arnold because he was a traitor. If he did this to his own mother country, why would they trust him?
Also: “Where ARE all the men, anyhow? All we see are a bunch of pussies!”
Let us remember than in the Revolutionary War one in three American colonials was pro-British. In America there have always been near-sighted opponents of the good and the Godly.
Where are all the men? you ask. They are running like hell to keep their distance from a generation of American harpies.
They would encourage us to continue fighting.
Overall, I think they would be pleased that the Republic has endured for 243 years.
They would say, “We tried to warn you.”
Folks, we have to get back to church, and root out those who do not want to be a part of this nation.
I’d gift them $250k a piece to renounce their citizenship and right to ever come back.
Just LEAVE...
James Madison was vehemently against any kind of term limits. I suppose if he were around these days he would reconsider it.
“all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
“Why aren’t you men shooting yet?”
Good question!
thats why he hated John Adams for being a wuss..
They would be saddened by our banishment of Almighty God from our national life.
Because:
“For when you assemble a number of men to have the advantage of their joint wisdom, you inevitably assemble with those men, all their prejudices, their passions, their errors of opinion, their local interests, and their selfish views. From such an assembly can a perfect production be expected?”
