Well? Which do you call it?
The American Revolution?
The American War for Independence?
The Revolutionary War?
I used to think you called it the 9-years War, but then I was just doing some research and found out that that's the name of some Irish war or something. So, to sate my curiosity, please tell me what you living, breathing Brits call the war.

Well, you probably shouldn't have let us [Canada] become a sovereign nation. Then you would have had a huge amount of trees and water to sell to the US.

We didn't feel like sitting around and waiting to get it peacefully. What do you have to show for your patience? You have FRENCHMEN living in your own country. And we're the most badass indian-killin' cowboy nation on earth. Kiss the rings, bitch.

I see that the assimilation procedure hasn't fully completed yet. To the

he wants a orange dodge charger with the Confedrate flag on top!

I crack up whenever I remember George III's reaction to American independence. It always reminds me of some kid, who, upon losing a baseball game, says "Well, I didn't really want to win, anyway"

The American Colonies were the most expensive (financially and militarily) colonies that Britain had. All those taxes that the people went up in arms against, the quartering of soldiers, was FOR THEIR OWN BENEFIT. He really was better off without them.
