We always say 1776... but wouldn't it be more like 1861? I guess it's kind of both... the democrat party are still the slave drivers (taxes, drivers of complete dependency, weakening of the enslaved through crippling social manipulations, etc) and we want to fight against that, but ALSO the democrats now represent the remainder of euro/establishment ties that puppeteer our government, directly siphon prosperity, health, and wellbeing away from our families and people, and threaten our freedoms and we REALLY want to fight against that. Hmm. 1776 fits more, I suppose. It's just the bigger elephant in the room; would others agree?

The act of rebellion took place over several years. The Boston Tea Party was 1773, Lexington and Concord was 1775 and the Declaration was 1776. I think 1776 is a good date to use because it marks the transition from rebellion to revolution.

I think the 1776 crowd really means 1775

1776 is the brand now. Who cares about the actual technical date, it's the meaning behind the word that people are relating to.

1775 just doesn’t have the same ring to it

That'll be 1775 plus tax.
