You clearly haven’t read anything about the American revolution. Stop spewing your bullshit in an attempt to elevate your holy thank everyone mantra. Have you heard of taxation without representation? The stamp act? Freedom of expression?

If you think the British had it right and the American colonies were in the wrong, you are clearly ignorant. The constitution of the US, once it was formed, reshaped the entire world in a more positive way.

I don't think (s)he was talking about the revolution so much as the founding of certain colonies. Massachusetts, for example.

The pilgrims were very different from the puritans

The pilgrims were Puritans. Not sure where you got the idea that they weren't.
