I mean,
#Historically, many people in the original 13 colonies at the time were actually pretty against rebellion against the
#British for a very long time. A lot of people think it was a united front and everyone was onboard for it, but not really, many people deserted during the war, many defected toward the British side especially since for a very long time before the events leading up to the battle of Yorktown in 1781, the British had the advantage on all fronts. They had the naval advantage, they had the tools advantage, they had the advantage militarily compared to the Americans, so many advantages that if not squandered, could have easily left us in an even worse situation, but they squandered there advantages and lost as a result, well... that and the
#French helped us and paid the price for it years later between 1789 and 1794 or thereabouts, the American Revolution a big cause of what lead toward the French rvolution which was very much economical in nature at the time as economics lead toward the suffering of people in the streets. I write this to illistrate just how young our country is compared to others, as well as this anti-immigration view is rich coming from us, because the
#US wasn't created just by Americans, without the French as well as people like Alexander Hamilton, this country would never have existed as it is now, so its incredibly hypocritical for people here to have any sort of anti-immigration response, because we'd still be paying stamp taxes now without immigrants who helped create the US as a whole. The sad part is we're payingway more
#Taxes now than the British ever imposed on us and most of us don't have representation at all, we just pay it every year and have to take it on the chin, so we're no better off than we were before 1775 but are facing a government that's progressively taking our rights away every day and it seems hopeless even though people are fighting back.All this to say we still have a long way to go to get out of the teenage phase, and if we survive long enough, we might end up as prosperous as countries like
#France,
#Denmark, and many other
#European countries that existed hundreds of years before the US ever was thought of in any scale.
