This is what I've been trying to tell people. Most people don't realize that the founding fathers spent 8 YEARS trying to get the colonies to declare independence. Heck, the Boston Massacre happened in 1770 and it STILL took 6 more years for the people to revolt (and after all this time only 25 PERCENT of the population supported independence), and if the brits hadn't came for the colonists' guns and ammunition they STILL wouldn't have rose up against them.
overall we slaughtered them. politicians cucked that entire engagement and we still got them to sign a treaty. then we left and didnt come back when the treaty was predictably broken
It's a case study for the US how not to fight a war, and it's also a case study on how a bunch of peasants can stand up to a much more heavily armed military.

Yup, John Hancock was a British sympathizer until they took his house away and now he's a revered Founding Father.
Different story this time because the military has unbelievable firepower over us. The difference in weapons quality wasn't very much back then
