Guest RabidBillsFanVT Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 Kerry got more votes...in the birthplace of our democracy. Must use different maps in Michigan. On my map, Virginia is not in the Northeast. 103255[/snapback] Last time *I* checked, the Revolution started in NEW ENGLAND, NOT Virginia. WASHINGTON and JEFFERSON may have been FROM VIRGINIA, but the ideas and important confrontation of British Rule came from NEW ENGLANDERS. Just had to clarify that.

While the first shots of the Revolutionary War may have been fired in Massachusetts, the argument could be made that colonial Virginians were much more Revolutionary. The New Englanders seemed to be more upset about the monopoly on tea given to the East India Trading Company than anything else. Granted, after the dissolution of their legislature they got a little ornery, but historically speaking, perhaps a result of their Puritanical history, they were downright passive when compared to colonial Virginians.

My memory serves that not all Revolutionaries wanted England gone, nor a democracy put in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone with the last name KENNEDY can just put his name on the ballot, go away until election day and find himself an elected official.
