“Glad the dudes at Lexington didn’t think that way......”
Your response is simply gutter hyperbole, meant to imply cowardice...Every day there are dozens of reasons to “go to war” here against “domestic enemies”. My suggestion, choose wisely, you only get one bite at the apple.
BTW, you’re wrong regarding Lexington. In fact, they did knuckle under to the crown for a long time, not responding to every tit-for-tat responsive move by the British.....
They were required and kept their arms in the public armory in town as required by British authority which they did.
Only when tensions between the British and the Patriots had reached a crescendo when the British troops moved to Lexington to capture the armory did this turn to battle...
Their move was as a community and proportional to the threat. The British could have easily backed off to let things cool down but the British were arrogant and had little regard for the Colonialists...
So Lexington was one of the beginning shots of the American Revolutionary war...
