Yep, its ALLLLLL about NY...Like this republic would not have existed with their undying support and sacrifice to the Union...
(Steve rolls his eyes)
And like the teenagers he is imitating, Steve is ignorant. There were 120 battles in New York State or the territories later annexed by New York for a reason; we were the linchpin of empire. Had the British captured the state, we would have been cut in half. Had we lost Saratoga, there would be no United States. The deep water harbors or New York, and the later Erie canal were vital to our later growth.

Maybe you should be careful about the slurs you use, and the selective clipping and pasting you do before you start throwing “ignorance” and “teenager” around...

Obviously you stopped short of how much it took NY to agree to get into the ground floor of this experiment called these United States of America...

Sure, you must think I do not know the trials and tribulations every single state went thru to gain our overall independence from England...How ignorant of an opinion you must have...

So go right ahead and assume some more...I’m sure you’ll not lose sleep over your interpretation of U.S. history...WE could all learn something from you, but that is beside the point...
