has this degenerated in to a binfest of america-phobes and -philes yet? im in for the evening and could do with some entertainment :
But the first expansion of America happened 25 years after the Declaration of Independence, it's not right as the person I was replying to was saying that the War was just about that issue and nothing to do with taxes and taxation without representation.
