Well seems here that since I forgot to list each and every reason for wanting to seperate from England and only mentioned the tax part of it, you'll have to excues me as to where I was going here. I did answer when we first got started in taxing the citizens which is where I was going in the first place...I was saying it happened under Washingtons watch and you will have to excuse me for not listing all those involved in making it law...after all don't the presidents get credit for things congress pass during his watch?...I was born in America and am American same as he was but what is my family ancestory? He was born in Virginia....an American....I am of German ancestory and he was of English ancestory...if you read what I said, that is what I was getting at...I never said he was born in England..and in fact the only place he visited outside the States was the West Indies...and I was stating facts that he worked for the British and not the French...So if he was of French ancestory, would he have sided with the French instead?....so where did I get my history wrong?...My post wasn't to list all the reasons for the break from English rule. I only mentioned one thing that was kept as an English tradition..taxes....again, where was my history wrong when saying he was of English ancestory?...after all his mother was born in London England...so the question is don't you here speak of being Italian, German, English, Indian, Irish or where ever your forefathers came from when asked the question where did your blood originate?...Most are proud to say they are Italian, German, English, Irish or what ever...
My information has been taken from Washingtons bio, family history, military history and history while President...guess I better quit writing here and contact those historians that wrote those facts and let them know they don't know what they are talking about. and again those of you that know all the facts, please excuse my poor history information.
