I know - I was really just making a joke.

But it’s always worth a reminder. We like to look back on the Revolutionary War as a unified, singular effort against a common enemy, when it was anything but.

From my understanding, the people during the revolutionary war were divided into the typical political thirds; a third wanted it, a third did not, a third didn’t know what to think.

One third was more determined than the others, Thank God.
