We are speaking of the enlightened American colonies, not Europe. If we wish to expand the arena to Europe, then please express that.

Wait a minute....

Now they're enlightened American colonies???

What happened to post 567 that you made? You know, the one where you said that the colonies engaged in killing and torture until the federal government put a stop to it?

Here it is again to refresh your memory....

But killing and torture of those who did not subscribe to the particular Protestant brand of each colony were, until the federal government quelled it. Massachusetts was a particularly barbaric colony, although several others vied for its level of barbarism. Where did you guys get your education? Have you no idea of what was actually done in history or do you have the usual American glaze eyed deer in the headlights stare when it comes to actual reality?

Which is it? Enlightened or murderous and barbaric?

Does it take a [SARC] designator for you to recognize sarcasm?

You keep making my point for me, don't you?

Did they not teach you about literary devices in your school? I suppose that your mathematics consisted of one, two, three, many...
