"Remember folks... only 7 % of the American Colonial Colonies, took up arms against King George...the rest of the people were not wanting to get involved..."
That was a foreign power with a huge ocean separating them from us at a time in history when travel across oceans was a time-consuming and arduous matter, particularly for mass troop movements, and England was also at war with another major power at the time, France.
Those 7% were giving to the nation, not taking from it.
We’ve come so far.
