during our one period of oppression

One period? Ask the Irish about that. They may differ.

One period? Ask the Irish about that. They may differ.

I'm English, and the one time (for over 1000 years) that my country (England) has suffered oppression was the period between the murder of King Charles I (30th January, 1649) and the Restoration of King Charles II (29th May, 1660).

In fact one of the oppressive acts undertaken by that tyranny was the prohibition on Christmas; people were arrested for eating plum-pudding. Watch out America, you have no Monarchy to defend your freedom.
