Very interesting...learned something new today. For some reason, I have always been fascinated with the ACW and have never had the chance to read up on the Rev. War. As a foreigner, I haven't had the history lessons either :)
That said, I have always been fascinated with the documents that supported the creation of the United States. Jefferson is one of my favorite figures from that glorious time in your country's history.
IMO, the Bill of Rights is the greatest document ever written by human beings. I used to hand a copy on my wall for years before I even came here.
Alexander Hamilton was also there in the fight.
