| MontanaHatchet said: I'm still not seeing how the founders of this country were terrorists. Did George Washington or John Adams or Thomas Jefferson or any of the other founders destroy any tea or tar and feather anyone or attack civilians in Britain? Maybe I'm just not a history buff. |
No... they were against it.
In fact, John Adams represented the British Soldiers after the Boston Massacre.
Well Sameual Adams liked that kind of stuff, but he was basically the only person... and he was generally shunned by the actual real important people.
It's also funny Vlad apparently doesn't think the Boston Teaparty, tarring and feathering and Revolutionary war tactics were taught in school.
I mean, you kinda need to know that stuff to learn about the revolutionary war. Your average gradeschooler knows that stuff and has to know it to pass history. (Though likely forgets it later)
Another thing taught in school. American Civil War tactics were crap. They used them because it's what the local miltias used vs the Indians with their rifles.
They didn't switch tactics because "they started winning". They switched tactics because it took them time to teach men to not break ranks when forming a musket line.
American tactics were fairly useless unless you used rifles which were
A) In short supply.
B) Really only good for skirmishes.
With Smoothbore muskets... those tactics proved ineffecutal.
