[Regia-NA] Have a Happy.....:-)

Just look at Australia!

But I do believe that America would have tried to break away as India did.
It's in our nature.  We can't even get along with ourselves. *sigh*

I too raised a glass to our American friends and relations. As revolutions
go it was pretty civil.

An interesting "What if ..." for scholars of the period is what if
representation had accompanied taxation? A British
Empire that included the Commonwealth of North America would have been a
very different historical influence in the
years that followed.

Comments will be read with great interest at this end!

> Thanks for the kind thought.  I've always been grateful that our founding
fathers could draw upon their English
heritage for inspiration when deciding how to put together a new country.
Most revolutions leave little but discontent
and corruption on which to build.  We started with deeply held convictions
about law, individual rights and the
limitations of power.
