I read this in the NY Post this morning and almost spit my coffee out, especially since we are about one month away from the General's 270th birthday. This idiot from Brooklyn should know that the biggest battle of the Revolution occured in Brooklyn (there were approximately 30,000 men in the field) and that the General was there at the time. A lot of brave men died in that borough during that battle.
Further, more Patriots died (11,500) in the English prison ships in Wallabout Bay on the Brooklyn side of the East River than in all the battles of the Revolution.
He should find out more about the history of this country that likely let his grandparents in from somewhere in eastern Europe more than 100 years after the Revolution. And I'm originally from Brooklyn. What an idiot this guy is.
my sentiments to you since you're originally from Brooklyn and I agree with everything you say. But you know those guys who died in the revolutionary war were almost all white guys. It's all about racism and tearing america apart and discrediting everything that the earlier americans accomplished.
