Today is the 246th year anniversary of the United States becoming its own country. Before July 4, 1976, the original 13 states were English colonies.
If it wasn’t for a bunch of slave owning white men thinking that paying tax on the tea they drink was one of the most immoral things they could be asked to do, we’d probably still be British colonies. Even worse, we could be the most southern part of Canada.
Being part of Canada? Other than being forced to attend a Jimmy Buffett concert, I can not think of no worse fate.
