I guess I was thinking about the war fought to separate our sovereignty from England--The American Revolutionary War--and the horrible details of how Americans treated each other during and after the struggle.

We hear much about the trouble that will come to be after the American Forces pull out of Iraq. I wonder how many people understand the trouble that came after the Brits were sent packing at the end of the War for Independence.

A good education on American History regarding the War for Independence might help us better understand the Iraqi war.

How many of today's Canadians are the descendants of Tories and Loyalists that escaped to Canada with their life at the closing of that war?
